HC Deb 23 May 1977 vol 932 cc330-1W
Mr. Sillars

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many junior hospital doctors have received increases in pay during phase 2 of the incomes policy; what were the increases; and if any deductions have been made from doctors' pay to take account of incremental drift.

Mr. Moyle

Junior hospital doctors have not yet received increases during the current pay round. This will be a matter for the Government to consider with the professions in the light of the recommendations in the Report of the Review Body on Doctors' and Dentists' Remuneration which will be published as soon as possible.

Mr. Lawrence

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services when he will publish the report of the Review Body on Doctors' and Dentists' Remuneration, which he received on 4th April 1977.

Mr. Moyle

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister gave to the hon. and learned Member for Denbigh (Mr. Morgan) on 16th May.
