Commission on Industrial Relations

HC Deb 10 February 1969 vol 777 cc201-3W

43. Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Employment and Productivity whether she will make a statement on the proposed payments of £11,500 to

Productivity (1) if she will list the industrial training boards now in operation, and for each board the amount of levy received, the amount of Exchequer grant received and the total expenditure by the board for the latest year for which figures are available;

(2) if she will list for each industrial training board now in operation the proportion of total industrial wages paid in levy and the total sums paid by the board to employers for the latest year for which figures are available.

Mr. Hattersley

The information is published in the Annual Reports of industrial training boards which are laid before Parliament. It is as follows:

the Chairman and £6,500 to members of the Commission on Industrial Relations in the light of the Government's prices and incomes policy; and whether she will refer them to the National Board for Prices and Incomes.

Mr. Hattersley

The levels of pay for these new posts were fixed having regard to those for comparable responsible posts. This is consistent with incomes policy and there is no case for referring them to the National Board for Prices and Incomes.
