To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government what the annual pay settlements for local authorities were between 1983 and 1997.
Brandon Lewis
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary for Communities and Local Government
Local government pay is a devolved matter. The Local Government Association, which represents local authorities in England, has provided data on pay rates for local government workers between 1975 and 1996. This data has been placed in the library of the House. Detail of annual pay settlements in each of those years is not readily available.

Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
This phrase is often used in written answers to indicate that a minister has deposited some relevant information in the House of Commons Library. Typical content includes research reports, letters, and tables of data not published elsewhere.
A list of such depositions can be found at http://deposits.parliament.uk/ along with some of the documents. The Library is not open to the public, but copies of documents can be requested if they are not on that website.
