HC Deb 15 November 1971 vol 826 c21W
Mr. Mason

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry when he will announce the names of members of the British Airways Board.

Mr. Noble

I hope to announce further names in December.

Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether, as Mr. David Lancaster Nicholson, the Chairman of the British Airways Board, is devoting only two-thirds of his time to this appointment, he will, in support of the Government's declared policy of controlling wage awards, reduce his salary of £13,000 per annum by one-third.

Mr. John Davies

No. The amount of time Mr. Nicholson will devote to the job has already been taken into account in fixing the level of salary at £13,500 per annum.
