§ 103. Sir Knox Cunninghamasked the Secretary of State for Defence when the new pay structure for industrial employees in Government service, which includes those working at No. 23 Maintenance Unit at Royal Air Force Station Aldergrove, the operation of which has so far been postponed, will now come into force.
§ Mr. Merlyn ReesThe National Board for Prices and Incomes, in its Report (No. 18) published last year, recommended that an entirely new pay structure should be established for all industrial employees in Government service, and that every effort should be made to bring the new structure into operation by April, 1967.
It was subsequently decided that the new structure could not be introduced during the period of severe restraint, and negotiations are proceeding with the aim of bringing it into operation in July, 1967.
