HC Deb 09 May 1968 vol 764 cc136-7W
Mr. Maclennan

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will take steps to increase the salaries of those employees of his Department who have been seconded to the service of foreign Governments but for whose pay Her Majesty's Government remains responsible, to take account of the effect of devaluation upon their incomes.

Mr. Hoy

Foreign Service Allowances have already been increased to take account of the effects of devaluation, and the question of increasing basic salaries does not, therefore, arise.
