HC Deb 02 December 1977 vol 940 c457W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer why he will not move to appoint a Select Committee to investigate the possibility of establishing a fair and equitable wages and incomes policy covering all sections of the population, bearing in mind such factors as the type of work, its use to the community, its dangers and unsocial aspects and the need for differentials in each type of employment.

Mr. Robert Sheldon

Because I do not consider it appropriate to do so.
