HC Deb 08 December 1977 vol 940 c831W
Mr. Canavan

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what is the estimated annual cost of the Fire Brigade Union's wage claim.

Mr. Merlyn Rees

About £45 million. This figure is necessarily an approximate one and relates to all operational ranks in the Fire Service. It is not possible to provide a separate estimate for those ranks only on whose behalf the Fire Brigades Union has submitted a claim.
