HC Deb 29 June 1936 vol 314 cc22-3
45. Mr. BOOTHBY

asked the Prime Minister whether the Government propose to introduce legislation to put Ministerial salaries upon a more equitable basis?

The SECRETARY of STATE for the HOME DEPARTMENT (Sir John Simon)

I can at present add nothing to the answer which the Prime Minister gave on 18th May in reply to a question by my hon. Friend the Member for West Leeds (Mr. V. Adams).

Mr. BOOTHBY

Does the right hon. Gentleman not think that some attention might be paid to the expressed views of this House?

Sir J. SIMON

It must not be assumed that because no answer is given to-day that no attention is being paid to the matter.

Mr. COCKS

Will the right hon. Gentleman consider the saving to the Treasury which would result from the introduction of a system of payment by results?
