HC Deb 28 November 1985 vol 87 c660W
27. Mr. Wainwright

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will make a statement on his Department's performance in keeping public sector pay rises within his guidelines.

Mr. MacGregor

Our policy for public sector pay has been and remains that it should reflect the need to recruit, retain and motivate staff of the calibre required within what can be afforded.
