HC Deb 06 April 1971 vol 815 c243
Q8. Mr. John D. Grant

asked the Prime Minister what appointments he has now made to the review bodies on top salaries; pay for the Armed Forces; and for doctors and dentists.

Mr. Maudling

I have been asked to reply.

My right hon. Friend hopes to make an announcement before the House rises for Easter.

Mr. Grant

While regretting that nothing can be said today, may I ask the right hon. Gentleman to bear in mind that hon. Members—on this side, perhaps, in particular—some of whom have a special interest in the findings of at least one of these bodies, would welcome the appointment of Professor Clegg, Sir Jack Scamp or even Mr. Stanley Gillen, of the Ford Motor Company? In view of the wide interest in these review bodies, has the right hon. Gentleman had consultations with the two sides of industry about these appointments?

Mr. Maudling

As I said, my right hon. Friend hopes to make an announcement before the House rises for the Easter Recess. That would be the appropriate time to go into these matters.
