HC Deb 09 July 1936 vol 314 c1388
45. Mr. BOOTHBY

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

The PRIME MINISTER (Mr. Baldwin)

I am not yet in a position to add anything to the answer which I gave on 18th May last in reply to a question by my hon. Friend the Member for West Leeds (Mr. V. Adams).

Mr. BOOTHBY

In considering this matter, will the Prime Minister hear in mind the fact that this House, has passed a Resolution in favour of the revision of Ministerial salaries?

The PRIME MINISTER

Yes, Sir, but I think that my hon. Friend will admit that it would have been very difficult to have introduced any more legislation in the last few months than we have done.
