HC Deb 31 March 1969 vol 781 c13W
Mr. Biffen

asked the Secretary of State for Employment and Productivity when she was informed of the claim by workers at the Hawker Siddeley plant at Woodford, Cheshire; what percentage increase in estimated rates, earnings and producticity is involved in the claim; and what is the current state of negotiations.

Mr. Harold Walker

The claim was notified to my Department on 21st November, 1968, and was for a substantial increase in pay. An agreement has been reached which will give the workers concerned an increase in rates but negotiations are still continuing on a bonus scheme.
