§ Mr. Gwilym Robertsasked the Secretary of State for Employment what study he has made of the use of credit cards in order to buy personal needs at company expense, thus avoiding the limitations of incomes policy; how many cases of this 344W type have been drawn to his attention; if he will list them in the Offical Report; what steps he is taking to prevent this avoidance of incomes policy; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Harold WalkerThe use of credit cards to buy personal goods at company expense, like other methods of remuneration, is subject to the pay limit. I have had no instances brought to my attention of this practice being used to avoid the pay policy, and have made no special study.
