§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department why, in view of the fact that the Chairman of the Racecourse Betting Levy Board was given a 20 per cent. increase in salary above that of his predecessor on appointment, he has now agreed to increase the present payment of £4,800 a year to £6,000 a year; and whether he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Elystan MorganOn Lord Wigg's appointment the salary fixed was for a part-time post, which has now become full-time. The new salary is the full-time equivalent of what was paid before, and is in accord with incomes policy.
