HC Deb 29 June 1978 vol 952 c641W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Employment whether he will give the actual or estimated trades, groups or numbers of workers who had salaries and wages in May 1965 of the then stated amounts who have had their incomes so depreciated in purchasing value by cost of living and retail price index increases that they now receive incomes worth only two-thirds or less of their 1965 values.

Mr. Golding

For the reasons given in my reply to my hon. Friend's question on 15th June, I regret that such estimates cannot be made from the information available.—[Vol. 951, c.641.]
