HC Deb 21 July 1987 vol 120 c162W
70. Mr. O'Brien

asked the Secretary of Stale for Employment what action he intends to take to seek to raise the average level of pay in west Yorkshire; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Nicholls

Pay in west Yorkshire or elsewhere is entirely a matter to be negotiated between the employers and employees concerned except in those industries covered by wages council orders.
