Mr. William Hamiltonasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what acount was taken, in preparing the White Paper, Public Expenditure 1968–69 to 1973–74, Command Paper No. 4234, of the need to increase substantially the salaries of such public servants as nurses and teachers, and others within the public service who are currently paid at rates below national average earnings.
