HC Deb 14 June 1979 vol 968 c288W
Mr. McCrindle

asked the Minister for the Civil Service when he expects to receive the report from the committee which has been considering pay parity between the civil police and non-Home Office police forces; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Channon

My right hon. and noble Friend the Lord President of the Council expects to receive the report by the end of this week. It will receive urgent consideration.

Mr. Peter Lloyd

asked the Minister for the Civil Service when he expects to receive the report of the Wright committee on rates of pay for police in the public sector; when he expects to publish it; and whether he will undertake to implement its proposals in full as was the case with the recommendations of the Edmund-Davies committee.

Mr. Channon

My right hon. and noble Friend the Lord President of the Council expects to receive the report by the end of this week and it will be given urgent consideration. At this stage it is too early to say when the report will be published but there will be no unnecessary delay.
