§ 45. Mr. Doddsasked the Prime Minister what decision has been reached in the discussions concerning the proposal to increase the salaries of junior Ministers.
§ The Prime Minister (Sir Winston Churchill)It may well be that there is general agreement that the salaries of junior Ministers are inadequate, but I am not at present in a position to make any further statement.
§ Mr. DoddsWill the Prime Minister bear in mind that this matter has been under consideration for a considerable time? A fortnight ago he then said it was being dealt with as a matter of urgency. Since I do not want to cause unnecessary trouble in the Cabinet, I hope that he will be able to make a decision before long.
