HC Deb 20 December 1968 vol 775 cc496-7W
Mr. Biffen

asked the Secretary of State for Employment and Productivity what is the est mated percentage increase in rates and earnings arising from the claim by clerical staff at Rolls-Royce for men and women, respectively.

Mr. Harold Walker

The claim has been notified to my Department, who have been told that negotiations are still proceeding. No percentage increase in rates and earnings can arise except from the final settlement which will be subject to incomes: policy scrutiny in due course.
