HC Deb 05 July 1966 vol 731 cc57-8W
Mr. Beaney

asked the Minister of Labour whether he will refer to the National Board for Prices and Incomes the increase in the cost of obtaining information previously available in the Ministry of Labour Gazette from 3s. 6d. to 6s. 9d.

Mrs. Shirley Williams

No. The new style Ministry of Labour Gazette is essentially an entirely new publication, larger and with improved layout, which, in addition to more comprehensive statistics, includes an authoritative review of the latest trends in labour and industrial matters. This could not be produced without increasing the price from 3s. 6d. to 5s. 0d. The details of monthly changes in rates of wages and hours of work, are now published separately at a cost of 1s. 9d. monthly.
