HC Deb 07 March 1967 vol 742 c250W
Mr. Biffen

asked the Minister of Labour if the recent increase in pay for draughtsmen offered by Swan Hunter and Wigham Richardson was confirmed by his Department as consistent with the criteria expected to be observed during the period of severe restraint; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Gunter

I understand that the firm made an offer for payment, subject to Government policy, after the period of severe restraint.
