Britain details six month wage price freeze plan
London UPI reports the Labour government published a six month wage and price freeze to steady the pound and buy time for a recovering economy. A 28 day deadline sets the measure for law, with a White Paper outlining the first peacetime statutory controls on incomes and prices. Prime Minister Wilson, in Washington with President Johnson, seeks 12 months of breathing space while productivity catches up. An estimated six million workers would be affected immediately, while the Trades Union Congress debates support amid pressure to back the plan. The freeze is to be effective upon parliamentary approval, following Wilson’s Moscow trip and a 1.4 billion dollar aim to cool overheating inflation.
