HC Deb 11 June 1974 vol 874 c498W
Mr. Dixon

asked the Secretary of State for Employment whether he is now in a position to make a statement about wages in the china clay industry.

Mr. Booth

The Pay Board has informed my right hon. Friend that the stage 3 wage settlement for the china clay industry is a case of special difficulty, and he is now examining the matter to see if there are exceptional circumstances warranting a consent.
