§ Mr. Ieuan Wyn Jonesasked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will provide data from the 1986 "New Earnings Survey" showing what proportion of workers in the hairdressing occupational category received incentive payments; and what was the average weekly value of those payments per worker.
§ Mr. LeeEstimates from the "New Earnings Survey" indicate that in April 1986 in Great Britain just over a third of full-time adults employed as hairdressers and whose earnings were not affected by absence received payment-by-results or similar payments. These averaged £25.50 per week gross for each employee receiving such payments.
