§ Q14. Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Prime Minister whether, in view of the Government's decision to increase the salaries of the Comptroller and Auditor General and the Parliamentary Commissioner from £9,800 per annum to £14,000 per annum, he will give the reasons why he will not take the necessary action to increase his own salary and the salaries of all Ministers and the Leader of the Opposition by a similar percentage.
§ The Prime MinisterI do not think that the Government should consider any such salary increases at the present time.
