HC Deb 27 January 1955 vol 536 c423
45. Mr. Dodds

asked the Prime Minis-what decision has been reached in respect to increasing the salaries of junior Ministers.

The Prime Minister (Sir Winston Churchill)

I cannot at present add to my answer of 21st December.

Mr. Dodds

Does the right hon. Gentleman appreciate that, with the probable exception of a few hon. Members below the Gangway on this side of the House, the fact that he has not yet made an announcement which will enable junior Ministers to live decently in the job has caused hon. Gentlemen to wonder why he is taking such a long time, and that we hope that it will be a favourable announcement when he does make it?

The Prime Minister

Yes, Sir, it is receiving urgent consideration by the Cabinet.
