HC Deb 05 February 1931 vol 247 cc2141-2W
Mr. LOUIS SMITH

asked the Minister of Labour if she will consider the desirability of introducing differential cost-of- living figures according to the position and remuneration of those whose wages or salaries are regulated by them; and what is the objection, if any, to such differentiation?

Miss BONDFIELD

The information as to the distribution of expenditure by different classes of the community which would be necessary for this purpose is not available.
