HC Deb 19 June 1967 vol 748 cc205-6W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether Members of the House of Lords who are also members of or chairmen of State boards etc. either on a full- or part-time basis in receipt of salaries and/or expenses for these appointments, are allowed to draw, in addition, the 4½ guineas per day House of Lords Sessional Allowance; and what, for the latest stated period, were the number so drawing and the total amounts drawn on average during the last 12 months.

Mr. MacDermot

Such members of another place are entitled to recover the expenses actually incurred by them in attending their House up to a maximum of 4½ guineas per sitting day. The administration of the scheme is entirely a matter for another place, and I have no information as to amounts claimed by particular categories of Peers.
