HC Deb 06 May 1971 vol 816 c444W
Q15. Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Prime Minister why, in view of the Government's call for income restraint, he will not restrict the salary increases to be paid as from 1st July to judges, chairmen of nationalised boards and other higher-paid persons.

The Prime Minister

As my hon. Friend the Parliamentary Secretary to the Civil Service Department explained in a reply which he gave to the hon. Member yesterday, because such action would not be justified.—[Vol. 816, c.370.]
