§ Mr. David ShawTo ask the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will list all the agreements relating to pay and conditions in force in the National Health Service in(a) 1979 and (b) 1988, and if he will place copies, as well as a summary of each agreement's main terms and conditions, in the Library.
§ Mr. Newton[holding answer 26 January 1988]: I am arranging to place in the Library as much information as possible about current agreements on pay and terms and conditions of service of National Health Service staff, I regret that comparable information in respect of 1979 cannot be provided without incurring disproportionate cost.
