HC Deb 06 March 1979 vol 963 cc654-5W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Employment whether he has now completed his investigations into the salary increases of 40 per cent. to certain trades union and Trades Union Congress officials; and what action he is proposing to take relating thereto.

Mr. Harold Walker

As regards the increase for TUC staff, I refer my hon. Friend to my reply to the hon. Member for Chingford (Mr. Tebbitt) on 11 December 1978.—[Vol. 960, c.13.] Neither in this case nor that of any known increase for trade union officials do I consider there are suitable grounds for further action.
