HC Deb 06 May 1980 vol 984 c38W
Mr. Austin Mitchell

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many counties have settled the salary claim with their residential social workers; and how many are still in dispute.

Mr. King

The information requested is not available centrally. Implementation of the settlement of the social workers' salary claim is a matter for determination by individual local authorities within the framework of an agreement negotiated nationally in April 1979.
