HC Deb 12 February 1948 vol 447 c97W
61. Mr. Lipson

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if, in view of the Government's policy to freeze wages, he will state what is estimated to be a reasonable income under existing price conditions, for a married industrial worker with two children.

Mr. Jay

I would refer the hon. Member to paragraph 7 (particularly 7 (a)) of the White Paper on Personal Incomes, Costs and Prices, from which he will see that it is not the Government's policy to embark on a course which would lead to their having to assess and regulate all personal incomes according to a scale.
