HC Deb 26 June 1979 vol 969 cc121-2W
41. Mr. Race

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he will make a statement concerning the financing of the Clegg awards to National Health Service ancillary staff and ambulancemen; and what proportion of the awards will be funded by central Government.

Mr. Patrick Jenkin

The Government have already undertaken to honour their predecessor's commitment to accept the findings of the Standing Commission on Pay Comparability for groups whose pay they referred to the Commission. Pay of all NHS staffs is funded by central government.
