HC Deb 24 May 1990 vol 173 c296W
Mr. Dunnachie

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will make a statement on the latest statistics on top people's pay.

Mr. Ryder

Rates of pay are a matter for the parties directly concerned as only they can know what is right for their particular circumstances. The Government have said repeatedly, however, that we are opposed to excessive pay increases since they threaten jobs.
