§ Dr. Edmund Marshallasked the Minister for the Civil Service why, in the light of the Government's present policy on the remuneration of public servants, he has, since December 1979, increased the level of fees payable to assistant commissioners to the Parliamentary Boundary Commissioners by 64 per cent.
§ Mr. ChannonFees for assistant commissioners to the Parliamentary Boundary Commissions were seriously depressed under the previous Administration having been increased by only 10 per cent. between 1 January 1975 and 31 December 1979. They have been brought into line with the remuneration of judicial posts of similar responsibility.
