Mr. Geoffrey Lloydasked the First Secretary of State and Secretary of State for Economic Affairs what proposals he has, during the period of restrictions on salary increases, for overcoming the anomalous position that firms taking on new staff, being subject to no restriction, can attract staff by higher salaries, with which their existing employers are forbidden to compete.
