HC Deb 22 July 1969 vol 787 cc354-5W
69. Mr. Carlisle

asked the Attorney-General whether, in view of the recent pay increase to senior members of the Civil Service, he will take steps to arrange for comparable increases to be paid to members of the judiciary.

The Attorney-General

Steps have already been taken to increase the salaries of the lower judiciary, either by administrative action or by means of the Judicial Offices (Salaries) Order which is now before Parliament. My noble Friend the Lord Chancellor does not propose to take steps to increase the salaries of the higher judiciary at the present time.
