§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Lord President of the Council whether, without divulging details attributable to known Members, he will give as much information as may be readily available of Members of Parliament who have not been, and are not, drawing their Parliamentary salaries; how long such payments have not been drawn; and, after allowing for taxation on the same, what has been the saving to the Treasury.
§ Mr. R. CarrPrior to the increase of Members' salaries on 1st January, 1972, all Members of this Parliament were drawing full salary. Since that date three Members have elected to draw reduced salaries with a resultant saving to the House of Commons Vote, as at 30th June, 1972, of £1,275.04.
