HC Deb 05 March 1985 vol 74 c485W
Mr. Deakins

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he has any evidence that income tax cuts leading to lower wage settlements will have an incentive effect.

Mr. Peter Rees

Lower wage settlements will provide an incentive to firms to increase employment. Evidence on the relationship between wages and employment is set out in the recent paper by Treasury officials.
