Mr. Ashley

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if the settlement of the Trico dispute was within the terms of the Pay Code.

Mr. Harold Walker

I have not been informed of the details of the settlement. Under the voluntary pay policy there is no general obligation on negotiators to report details of their settlements to my Department.
