asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will list all the major pay awards which have been agreed in the public sector since the end of phase 3, showing in each case the maximum, minimum and average percentage increases awarded, the maximum, minimum and average weekly value of the awards and the top level of wage salary, before and after the awards, which was affected.

I regret that the comprehensive information requested is not available. The monetary increases in the rates of pay of the main groups of manual workers in the public sector are included in my Department's monthly publication "Changes in Rats of Wages and Hours of Work".
