§ 76. Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Minister of Labour whether he is aware that the National Union of Railwaymen, which has declared itself in favour of the Government's income policy and the 3½ per cent. norm, is proposing to increase the General Secretary's salary from £2,930 per annum to £3,706 per annum; and as this is contrary to the Government's policy, whether he will refer this to the National Board for Prices and Incomes.
§ Mrs. Shirley WilliamsI understand that the Executive of the National Union of Railwaymen has recommended and that the Union's Conference has now approved salary increases for its General Secretary and Assistant General Secretaries. The answer to the second part of the Question is "No."
