HC Deb 02 December 1974 vol 882 c376W
Mr. Tom King

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if she can now say when the promised back pay award to nurses under the Halsbury Report will be paid.

Dr. Owen

Most nurses are now being paid on the new scales, and arrears, on account of which substantial advances have been made, will be adjusted as soon as possible. Further advances on account are being made to those not yet on the new scales.
