HC Deb 24 February 1969 vol 778 cc189-90W
5. Mr. Bruce-Gardyne

asked the Secretary of State for Employment and Productivity if she will redefine the criteria for productivity bargains in conformity with the Government's prices and incomes policy.

Mr. Harold Walker

The present policy, including the productivity elements, is intended to cover the period up to the end of this year. The policy after then is currently under consideration. The National Board for Prices and Incomes is at present carrying out a second inquiry into the subject of productivity bargaining.
