HC Deb 22 February 1968 vol 759 c159W
17. Mr. Kenneth Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Economic Affairs on what basis of comparison he agreed to the payment of a £20,000 a year salary to the new managing director of the Industrial Reorganisation Committee.

26. Mr. Roy Hughes

asked the Secretary of State for Economic Affairs if he will refer to the National Board for Prices and Incomes the salary of £20,000 a year to be paid to the chairman of the Industrial Reorganisation Committee.

Mr. Shore

I took full account of all the relevant circumstances, including Mr. Villiers' qualifications for the post and the salary which he was previously earning. I do not intend to refer his I.R.C. salary to the National Board for Prices and Incomes.
