HC Deb 27 April 1972 vol 835 cc358-9W
Q10. Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Prime Minister whether, in his promised announcement about the Government's intentions regarding the implementation of the Lord Boyle Committee's proposals to increase the salaries of the higher-paid civil servants, judiciary and nationalised boards, he will give details of the cash amounts of such increases, the percentage these increases represent of existing salaries in each instance, and the amount of increases that these people have received each year since 1964.

The Prime Minister

I would ask the hon. Member to await that announcement.

Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Prime Minister whether he will give an assurance that he will not agree to any salary increases to the higher paid State servants above 7 per cent. during the current year.

The Prime Minister

I have nothing to add to the answers I gave to Questions from the hon. Member on 13th and 18th April.—[Vol. 834, c.231; Vol. 835, c. 68.]
