Wilson Plans 13 Dollar Ceiling On Pay Raises
Prime Minister Harold Wilson outlined an anti inflation plan imposing a weekly ceiling of 13.20 dollars on pay raises for one year for British workers. He stated no increases for earners above 18,700 dollars annually and rejected a general price freeze while delaying subsidy cuts on food. The plan, aimed at curbing Europe’s highest inflation, seeks to keep basic price rises near 10 percent and relies on a strong legal framework without immediate criminal sanctions.
