HC Deb 07 March 1969 vol 779 c185W
Mr. Biffen

asked the Secretary of State for Employment and Productivity if she has now been notified of the settlement concluded between Perkins Engines Limited and their 6,500 manual workers; what is the estimated percentage increase in rates, earnings and productivity arising therefrom; and whether the settlement is in addition to the national engineering award recently concluded.

Mr. Harold Walker

The recent settlement concluded at Perkins Engines Ltd. related to a dispute over the use of work study and was not related to pay. Discussions are still continuing about a new pay agreement.
