§ Mr. Goldingasked the Secretary of State for Employment what have been the increases, including productivity increases, in pounds and pence to the weekly rates of each group of public employees severally during the past year.
§ Mr. Dudley SmithThe monetary increases in the rates of pay of the main groups of manual workers in the public sector are included in my Department's monthly publication "Changes in Rates of Wages and Hours of Work". Comparable information for non-manual workers is not readily available. Improvements in pay based on productivity are not necessarily linked to or included in increases in basic rates.
