HC Deb 21 February 1973 vol 851 c123W
Mr. James Johnson

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what has been the increase in unit wage costs in the gas industry during the past 10 years as compared with the other fuel and power industries.

Mr. Nott

There are various ways of measuring and interpreting changes in output, and hence in unit wage costs, in the gas and other fuel and power industries. It would be misleading to quote any one set of comparative figures out of context.
