§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Minister for the Civil Service whether he will give an assurance that the increases in salaries granted in recent months to persons in the highest grades in various forms of Government service have been or will be vetted by his Department to ensure that they fall within the Government's incomes policy.
§ Mr. ShoreI can assure my hon. Friend that all such increases for which the Government are responsible have been authorised only after the most careful consideration of the incomes policy aspects.
