HC Deb 22 April 1986 vol 96 c140W
88. Mr. Ryder

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what plans he has to discuss with employers the feasibility of introducing a greater element of profit sharing into pay negotiations.

Mr. MacGregor

As foreshadowed in my right hon. Friend's Budget speech, there will be preliminary discussions with employers and others over the next few weeks about the feasibility and benefits of introducing a measure of temporary tax relief to encourage profit sharing agreements which link a significant part of an employee's pay to profits. If these preliminary discussions are sufficiently encouraging, we would prepare a consultative document setting out a detailed scheme for wider consultation.
