§ 50. Mr. Mulleyasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury why the provision for salaries of Members of Parliament in the Estimates for 1953–54 is £6,476 less than for the current year.
§ Mr. Boyd-CarpenterThe combined effect of an increase in the numbers of hon. Members forgoing salary, in the total number of Members of this House holding Ministerial appointments, and in the number of junior Ministers drawing salary as such, is to reduce by £6,476 the provision required for payment of Parliamentary salaries.
