§ Mr. Banksasked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will publish the number and details of wage settlements made in the nationalised sector that fall outside the social contract.
§ Mr. BoothNo. As my right hon. Friend and I have told the House, it is not necessary or appropriate for us to classify each individual settlement in relation to the TUC guidelines.
§ Sir Frederic Bennettasked the Secretary of State for Employment when the hon. Member for Torbay can expect a reply to a letter addressed to his Department, dated 19th March 1975. on the subject of statistical information on the observation of the social contract in the public sector.
§ Mr. BoothI replied to the hon. Member's letter on 27th March. A further copy was sent to him on 23rd April, as I understand that he did not receive my original reply.
