HC Deb 19 July 1979 vol 970 cc793-4W
26. Mr. Higgins

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will ensure that no adjustments will be made to the new cash limits set out in Cmnd. 7604 to allow for wage claims or settlements in excess of the levels assumed when these cash limits were formulated.

Mr. Biffen

The Government's policy on cash limts was set out in my right hon. and learned Friend's Budget Statement. Cmnd. 7604 reflected that policy as it applies to pay settlements reached by 5 June.
