§ Mr. Merchantasked the Secretary of State for Social Services when he proposes to adjust the salary structure of architects in the National Health Service as recommended by the appropriate Whitley council.
§ Mr. John PattenThere has been no recommendation by the appropriate Whitley council concerning the salary structure of architects in the National Health Service.
I am aware of the long-standing anomaly with regard to the pay of the assistant regional grade of works staff, which includes assistant regional architects. I understand that attempts by the council to resolve this matter within the money available for pay have not so far been successful.
