HC Deb 30 July 1975 vol 896 c517W
Mr. Trotter

asked the Secretary of State for Employment whether the £6 a week limit on pay rises is to be a maximum for each person or an average for each employee.

Mr. Harold Walker

The pay limit of £6 a week is a maximum for each individual employee aged 18 and above and earning less than £8,500 per year. The White Paper also states that already established incremental and wage-for-age scales are payable provided that this does not raise the overall wage bill by more than £6 per head.
