HC Deb 27 February 1969 vol 778 c341W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked 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 Morgan

On 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.
