§ 92. Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for Employment and Productivity whether she has given consideration to the request made to her Department to endorse the £500 per annum retainer fees paid to police surgeons; whether this is in accord with the Government's policy on productivity, prices and incomes; and whether she will make a statement.
§ Mr. Harold WalkerThe incomes policy aspects of the proposed settlement are under consideration by the Government: it would be inappropriate for me to make a statement. I understand that the maximum retainer fee is considerably less than that quoted by my hon. Friend.
