§ Mr. Lawsonasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what has been the total increase in his Department's expenditure incurred as a result of the Government decision, effective as from 1st April 1975, to require contractors for cleaning Government buildings to pay wages comparable with those paid for similar work by local authorities.
§ Mr. BishopI regret that this information is not readly available and it would not be possible to seek to separate the increased cost on this account except at disproportionate cost.
