§ Mr. Bruce-Gardyneasked the Secretary of State for Social Services why the implementation of the Clegg Commission's report regarding the need on grounds of comparability for radiographers to experience an increase in working hours, or a reduction in wage rates, or both, will not, in practice, require either of these to happen.
§ Dr. VaughanThe management side of the professional and technical "A" Whitley Council has indicated in preliminary negotiations that it would be prepared to offer a protection arrangement whereby staff opting to retain their present working hours would retain their existing salary if this were more favourable than pro rata adjustment of the Clegg pay rates. Further discussions are continuing within the Whitley Council.
