HC Deb 08 February 1967 vol 740 cc339-40W
Mr. Carlisle

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government when he proposes to allow the implementation of the pay award for employees of the New Town Development Corporations which was agreed on 21st July, 1966, and should have come into effect for a period of two years from 1st August, 1966.

Mr. Mellish

Both sides of the Whitley Council for New Towns Staff have been told that in the Government's view a commitment existed before 20th July to re- view pay with effect from a later date, but the amount of any improvement had not been determined by 20th July, 1966. Subject therefore to the provisions of paragraph 36 of Cmnd. 3150, the Government are ready to agree to the implementation of new salary scales with effect from a date not before 1st July, 1967.
