HC Deb 09 February 1971 vol 811 c107W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer why he will not recommend to the Review Body examining Members of Parliament's salaries that such salaries should be adjusted by the same percentages and on the same dates as the salaries of judges, chairmen of nationalised boards and higher paid civil servants.

Mr. Patrick Jenkin

Because it is not the intention of the Government to restrict in any way the freedom of the independent Review Body to decide what factors are relevant to its enquiries.
