HC Deb 21 January 1969 vol 776 cc92-3W
Mr. Roy Hughes

asked the Secretary of State for Employment and Productivity if she will withdraw the circular issued by her Department which accompanies all wages council notices to employers entitled, "Wages Regulation Orders and Prices and Incomes Policy".

Mr. Harold Walker

No. The notice explains the legal effect of changes in statutory minima and makes clear that changes in the basic rates approved for the lowest paid workers should not be interpreted as approval for general increases.
