§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the First Secretary of State and Secretary of State for Economic Affairs whether he is aware that Mr. David Frost who receives £1,500 per week as a radio and television commentator is to have his income increased as a consequence of a £350,000 deal affecting three commentators; whether this increase is in accord with the Government's policy on wages, prices and incomes; and what action he proposes to take.
§ Mr. Frederick LeeI understand that the arrangements entered into with Mr. Frost and others do not relate to payments to be made before September, 1967, and that they cover services between then and early 1969. There is no increase in remuneration during the period of standstill and severe restraint.
