HC Deb 03 March 1981 vol 1000 c65W
Dr. Summerskill

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what steps he intends to take to ensure that the formula to index-link firemen's pay with that of the highest paid skilled manual workers is adhered to.

Mr. Mayhew

The pay and conditions of service of firemen are negotiated in the National Joint Council for Local Authorities' Fire Brigades, on which the Government are not represented.
