asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will list the five wage settlements to which he referred in his answer of 13th December 1974 to the hon. Member for Chingford as being self-evidently in breach of the social contract; and whether he has noticed any further breaches since that date.

The five settlements to which my right hon. Friend referred on 3rd December 1974—[Vol. 882, c. 393]—were those for BBC staff, for manual workers at Fords and Rolls-Royce (Glasgow), for lorry drivers in Scotland and for some bank staff. He has not commented publicly on any other cases.
