HC Deb 19 December 1969 vol 793 c440W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Employment and Productivity on what basis she estimates that there are only seven cases of company directors having salary increases of more than 3½ per cent. since March 1968; whether she has examined the company reports at Somerset House; and whether she will now cause an investigation to be made to ascertain whether these figures are correct, in the light of published company reports.

Mr. Harold Walker

My hon. Friend's previous Question of 4th December related to cases investigated by my Department, and so did the figures given in my answer.—[Vol. 792, c. 332–3.]

Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Employment and Productivity whether she will cause an investigation to be held into the subject of salaries paid to all company directors, as a class, to ascertain to what extent they have observed the Government's incomes policy since March, 1968.

Mr. Harold Walker

No.
