§ Mr. Onslowasked the Minister of Labour what is the estimated percentage of the total salary bill which is accounted for by salary earners with whom indidual contracts are negotiated, and by salary earners whose emoluments are negotiated by trade unions and staff organisations.
§ Mrs. Shirley WilliamsSomewhat less than a half of all salaried workers are 193W covered by centralised collective bargaining. A further unknown proportion is also covered by domestic negotiations with trade unions or staff associations. It is not possible to say what proportions of the total have individual contracts.
