HC Deb 23 May 1972 vol 837 cc361-2W
Q13. Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Prime Minister whether he will take the necessary action to increase the salaries of the chairmen of the nationalised boards, the higher paid civil servants, judges, and those employed by the State on salaries of £20,000 per annum by 20 per cent.

The Prime Minister

I have nothing to add to the answers I gave to Questions from the hon. Member on 27th April.—[Vol. 835, c.358–9.]

14. Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Prime Minister why, in view of the fact that the Boyle Committee Report on the pay of the higher incomes group within the Civil Service, Judiciary and State industries was available six weeks or more ago, he has not arranged for the publication and circulation of this report; and whether he will take the necessary action to make this report available to Members of Parliament.

The Prime Minister

This report will be published with the Government's decisions in due course.

Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Prime Minister whether he will give the date upon which he received the Boyle Committee Report on the pay increases of the higher paid civil servants, chairmen of the nationalised boards and judges; whether he is aware that the Institution of Professional Civil Servants is protesting at the Government's delay in making a statement on these proposals; and when he expects to announce the Government's decision regarding this report.

The Prime Minister

I have nothing to add to the answers I gave to Questions from the hon. Member on 27th April—[Vol 835, c.358–9]—and earlier today.
