HC Deb 14 April 1961 vol 638 c56W
Mr. C. Osborne

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer by how much industrial salaries and wages increased during 1960.

Mr. Barber

Total salaries and wages are estimated to have increased from £12,640 million in 1959 to £13,570 million in 1960, an increase of nearly 7½ per cent. I regret that more detailed estimates for particular industries or groups of industries are not yet available.
