HC Deb 08 August 1966 vol 733 c235W
59. Mr. William Hamilton

asked the Minister of Labour if he is aware that the Greyhound Racing Association Trust Limited is intending to increase the re muneration of the chairman from £600 to £1,250 per annum, and that of other directors from £500 to £1,000; and what steps he will take to ensure conformity with the standstill on incomes and prices.

Mr. Gunter

The Government understand that the decision to submit these proposed increases to the shareholders was taken before 20th July, and that the Board now intends to propose that implementation be deferred for six months in response to the standstill.
