Pay Settlements

HC Deb 18 January 1979 vol 960 cc864-5W

11. Mr. Tim Smith

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the current level of pay settlements.

Mr. Joel Barnett:

It is not possible to say what the current level of pay settlements generally is because the Government only monitor certain major settlements. To date 30 of these settlements have been within the guidelines and nine outside them.
