HC Deb 14 December 1978 vol 960 c287W
Mr. Ralph Howell

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will list in rank order, from lowest to highest, all basic wages, other than those awarded by wages councils, and including agricultural wages ; and if he will indicate which of these basic rates are decided by statutory bodies.

Mr. Golding

Comprehensive information is not available. A substantial amount of information for national collective agreements is contained in the Department of Employment's annual and monthly publications, "Time Rates of Wages and Hours of Work "and "Changes in Rates of Wages and Hours of Work ", together with information for wages councils and the agricultural wages boards.
