HC Deb 08 November 1967 vol 753 c112W
64. Sir T. Beamish

asked the Secretary of State for Defence, if he proposes to modify, or depart from, the formula set out in paragraph 251 of Command Paper No. 570 in reviewing the pay and allowances of the armed forces; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Reynolds

My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Economic Affairs has made a standing reference of Armed Forces' Pay to the National Board for Prices and Incomes. This has been followed by an Instruction to the Board in which its attention is drawn to the fact that the next review of Forces' Pay under the former procedure would have been due to take effect from 1st April, 1968.
