HC Deb 05 December 1957 vol 579 c69W
63. Mr. Jay

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer which Government Departments are excluded from the application of his recent circular laying down that, in making provision for the cost of pay increases, Departments should be governed by the Government's general policy that pay increases are to be offset by reductions in activities.

Mr. Powell

The circulars which I think the right hon. Gentleman has in mind will apply to all Departments employing the particular grades to which they refer.
