§ Mr. Carter-Jonesasked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he will supply details of all improvements made to management side pay offers as a result of negotiations in the Joint Professional and Technical "A" Whitley Council.
§ Mr. AlisonI understand that during the 25 years of the council's existence initial offers by the management side have been improved in the normal process of negotiations. In 1972, for example, such improvements were made in the negotiations for all the groups covered by the council except one where the increase was predetermined by a formal link with another group.
