Mr. Arthur Lewis
asked the Minister for the Civil Service whether, in view of the Government's decision to increase the pay of certain of the higher paid civil servants by 43 per cent., he will now increase the pay of the industrial civil servants by the same percentage, to operate as from 1st January, 1971.
Mr. David Howell
No. As announced yesterday, those civil servants whose salaries are to be increased by the largest amounts from 1st January, 1971 have agreed to forgo the increase for a period of six months.
