HC Deb 11 December 1978 vol 960 c31W
Mr. Tebbit

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether the advice given to local authorities in circular 123/75 and circular 103/76 issued by his Department, that they should enforce the Government's pay guidelines by boycotting blacklisted companies and accepting tenders only from companies certifying compliance with those guidelines, remains valid.

Mr. Shore:

No names of firms barred from Government contracts were circulated to local authorities. The undertaking, clause and certificate which the circulars asked local authorities to use related to section 1 of the Remuneration Charges and Grants Act 1975 which lapsed on 31st July 1978. The arrangements are therefore valid only in respect of the period when section 1 of the Act was operative.
