40. Sir G. Nabarro

asked the Lord President of the Council when Lord Boyle's Committee will be available to take evidence from Members of the House of Commons and others.

Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Lord President of the Council whether he is now able to state when Members of Parliament will receive the communication from the Boyle Committee requesting information with regard to Members' salaries and conditions, and whether he will give the address to which Members should send their written submissions.

Mr. Whitelaw

Arrangements for the submission of Members' evidence will be set out fully in the letter and questionnaire which Lord Boyle proposes to send to all Members within the next few days.

Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Lord President of the Council whether he will make it a condition of Great Britain's entry into the Common Market that the Council of Ministers will seek to harmonise the salaries and working conditions of British Members of Parliament with those now in operation within the countries of the Six generally, and those in Germany and France in particular.

Mr. Whitelaw

No.
