§ Mr. Biffenasked the Minister of Labour in how many instances employers are issuing luncheon vouchers or other fringe benefits in lieu of pay increases; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. GunterThis information is not available. I have no evidence of any significant increase of the issue of luncheon vouchers as a result of the restriction on increases in prices and incomes. These restrictions apply to fringe benefits which would add significantly to labour costs.
