HC Deb 03 February 1971 vol 810 cc375-6W
41. Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Minister for the Civil Service why, in view of the fact that permanent secretaries of the Civil Service have, between July, 1969, and January, 1971, been awarded a 53.1 per cent. salary increase, and deputy secretaries 37.9 per cent., he will not agree to increase the industrial civil servants' wages by the same or similar percentages.

Mr. David Howell

These increases were made in accordance with the recommendation contained in the Ninth Report of the Standing Advisory Committee on the Pay of the Higher Civil Service. This report did not cover the pay of industrial civil servants.
