§ 109. Mr. Errollasked the Minister of Labour if he will publish a list of wage increases granted during 1948 in defiance of the agreement to limit wages; the numbers of work-people affected; and the approximate financial effects of those increases.
§ Mr. Ness EdwardsNo. This is not practicable, but I am satisfied that the principles of the White Paper on Personal Incomes, Costs and Prices have in general been observed by employers and workers in the course of wage negotiations.
§ 111. Mr. Osborneasked the Minister of Labour what increases in wages have taken place since he make his appeal for their limitation; how many people have benefited; and approximately how much per annum extra it is estimated has been paid out.
§ Mr. Ness EdwardsAs my right hon. Friend informed the hon. Member on 20th January information on this subject appears monthly in the Ministry of Labour Gazette, copies of which are in the Library.
