HC Deb 27 March 1946 vol 421 c22W
58. Mr. W. J. Brown

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer why the rates of pay for established shorthand typists and typists in the Civil Service, which were applied with effect from 1st January last, were rejected by the Civil Service unions.

Mr. Dalton:

I cannot speak for the unions, but I daresay that, while they welcome the improvements made, they wish to reserve their position in view of the wider negotiations now pending, to which I referred in my answer to the hon. Member's Question last Thursday.
