HC Deb 14 March 1972 vol 833 c65W
Mr. William Hamilton

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he is aware that the most recent pay increase awarded to the nurses is insufficient to match the rise in the cost of living which has occurred in the last 12 months and that the standard of living of nurses is therefore being reduced; and what steps he intends to take to remedy this situation.

Sir K. Joseph

I do not think this will be found to be the case.
