HC Deb 27 January 1978 vol 942 cc836-7W
Mr. Cormack

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, further to his recent reply to the hon. Member for Ormskirk (Mr. Kilroy-Silk), he will list in the Official Report the sanctions imposed on those firms which have broken the Government's pay guidelines and indicate the strength of the work force in each firm.

Mr. Joel Barnett

As regards the discretionary powers, I refer the hon. Member to the reply given to the hon. Member for Kingston upon Thames (Mr. Lamont) on 24th November.—[Vol. 939, c. 854.]—As regards the rest of the Question, we have already made it clear that we are not prepared to publish detailed information about the firms concerned.
