IT was for "those concerned" to explain I the pay increase for road haulage workers in relation to the policy set out in the White Paper on Prices and Incomes Policy—which was agreed with representatives of management and unions— said Mr. Ernest Thornton, Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Labour, in the Commons this week.
He had been asked by Mr. Ian Gilmour (Cons., Central Norfolk) into which category of exceptions to the Government's incomes policy the 6 per cent salary increase for 200,000 road haulage workers came.
Mr. Thornton pointed out that the Road Haulage Wages Order fixing new statutory minimum rates from June 9 gave effect to unanimous proposals from the Wages Council.
