§ Mr. Biffenasked the Minister of Labour how many wage and salary earners, respectively, received income increases during 1966 and 1967.
§ Mr. HattersleyIt is estimated that basic weekly rates of wages or minimum entitlements were increased in industries or services employing some 8½ million manual workers during 1966 and 11½ million during 1967.
13WChanges made under centrally-negotiated agreements usually relate to minima and may not, therefore, result in corresponding changes for workers whose pay is in excess of the new minima.
Corresponding information for administrative, technical and clerical employees is not available.
