asked the Minister for the Civil Service what has been the average percentage increase in Civil Service salaries between January 1974 and April 1976.

Mr. Charles R. Morris

The average increase in basic national rates of pay for all civil servants—industrial and non-industrial—arising from pay changes made between January 1974 and April 1976, expressed as a percentage of the rates in force on 1st January 1974, was 46 per cent. This excludes the increases of 1st January 1974 but includes those of 1st April 1976.
