asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer (1) if it is his intention that the 10 per cent. limit on pay increases will apply to pay rises stemming from productivity agreements;(2) if it is his intention that the 10 per cent. limit on pay increases will apply to pay rises stemming from the taking on of additional responsibility by individual employees;(3) if it is his intention that the 10 per cent. limit on pay increases will nullify agreements already made between employers and unions, designed to apply this year and next, providing for percentage rises in excess of 10 per cent. or for threshold increases, respectively;(4) if it is his intention that the 10 per cent. limit on pay increases will apply to individual wages and salaries or to employers' pay bills in total;(5) if he intends to set up an organisation to police the proposed 10 per cent. limit on pay increases.
These matters will be covered in the White Paper which the Government will be publishing in the course of the next few days.
