HC Deb 10 December 1956 vol 562 c4W
50. Mr. Palmer

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power what action he proposes to take on the recommendations of the Herbert Committee of Inquiry into the electricity supply industry that there should be relativity with outside industry in the matter of the salaries paid to board chairmen and others.

Mr. Aubrey Jones

The Government recognise that there is much to be said for a review of the salaries paid to members of the hoards of nationalised undertakings, but I regret that the financial and economic situation makes it impossible for me to make any more definite statement on this matter at present.
