HC Deb 03 July 1967 vol 749 c168W
Mr. Biffen

asked the Minister of Labour if he will arrange for the collection and publication in his Gazette of the salaries and other emoluments received by television executives.

Mr. Hattersley

No.

Mr. Biffen

asked the Minister of Labour (1) to what extent the salaries and fringe benefits to be paid by those television companies recently awarded provisional contracts are consistent with Her Majesty's Government's prices and incomes policy;

(2) by what means he informs himself that the salaries and other emoluments of television executives are consistent with the prices and incomes policy.

Mr. Hattersley

The provisions in the White Papers on the prices and incomes policy for the notification of proposed pay increases are of general application to employers in every industry. For the rest, I would refer the hon. Member to the replies given by my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster to my hon. Friends the Members for West Ham, North (Mr. Arthur Lewis) and Woolwich, West (Mr. Hamling) on 29th June.
