§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Prime Minister (1) whether he will expand the statement issued from his office on Monday, 3rd July, concerning Dr. Thomas Balogh's return to Oxford in October; how much time he will give to Her Majesty's Government as a part-time economic adviser; and how much of his £7,100 per annum salary he will maintain for this part-time appointment;
(2) whether he will refer to the National Board for Prices and Incomes the question of an appropriate salary for the part-time employment of Dr. Thomas Balogh, as from October, 1967; and whether this should be on a basis of so much payment per hour of actual service given.
§ The Prime MinisterThe amount of time which Dr. Balogh will give to his work in the Cabinet Office after 15th October, 1967, will be a matter of mutual agreement. His salary will be adjusted automatically since he will be paid pro rata, on a daily basis, for the work he58W does. I do not think it would be appropriate to refer this matter to the National Board for Prices and Incomes.
