HC Deb 16 December 1957 vol 580 c2W
25. Mrs. Slater

asked the Minister of Health on what date the award to Health Service employees above £1,200 will be come operative.

Mr. Walker-Smith

I assume that the hon. Member is referring to administrative and clerical staff. The answer is 1st October, 1957.

Mr. Mellish

asked the Minister of Health his estimate of the yearly cost of the 3 per cent. increase recently unanimously agreed by the Whitley Council to administrative and clerical workers, hospital staffs, consent to which he refused.

Mr. Walker-Smith

I would refer the hon. Member to the Answer I gave to the hon. Member for Bristol, Central (Mr. Awbery) on 11th November.

The House will recall that I made it clear in debate on 6th November that the Departmental representatives on the Management Side opposed the offer.
