§ 30. Mr. Madelasked the Secretary of State for Employment whether he plans to announce phase 2 of the Government's pay policy before 1st June 1976, in view of the fact that this date is frequently important in wage negotiations.
§ Mr. FootAs already stated, the Government will continue to work closely with the Trades Union Congress, the Confederation of British Industry and with the British people as a whole on a continuing programme to control domestic inflation and prevent its resurgence. It is too early to be specific about what form this will take or when particular announcements will be made. But I am sure that the TUC and CBI as well as the Government will have the needs of negotiators well in mind.
