§ Mr. Pavittasked the Minister of Health what was the average annual percentage of increase in the remuneration of the average general practitioner from the time just prior to the Danckwerts award and incuding an allowance for the Exchequer's share of superannuation payments.
§ Mr. BarberThe figure is approximately 6 per cent. for each year or about 5 per cent. compound.
But a precise comparison of remuneration between 1952 and 1964 is not possible owing to the change in the method of calculating the pool after the Pilkington Royal Commission.
