HC Deb 07 July 1976 vol 914 c546W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Industry why he is unable to give the expenses actually drawn or allowed to the six peers of the realm who hold Government appointments as detailed in his reply to the hon. Member for Newham, North-West on Thursday 17th June.

Mr. Les Huckfield

Boards are authorised to reimburse from their funds travelling, subsistence and reasonable hospitality expenses incurred by members directly on the business of the boards. The amounts actually drawn by, or allowed to, individuals are a matter for the boards.
