HC Deb 22 June 1965 vol 714 cc168-9W
37 and 38. Mr. Goodhart

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer (1) how many civil servants and employees in nationalised industries have received wage and salary increases of 3½ per cent. per annum or less in the last six months;

(2) how many civil servants and employees in nationalised industries have received wage and salary increases of more than 3½ per cent. per annum in the last six months.

Mr. MacDermot

Many have received increases of more, and many others of not more, than 3½ per cent. per annum. It is not possible to give precise figures. Pay structures and settlements are often complicated and some grades or parts of pay scales may be treated more favourably than others.
