§ 43. Mr. Huntasked the Secretary of State for Employment whether he will request the Pay Board to complete its review of London allowances by 31st January 1974 at the latest.
§ Mr. Dudley SmithNo. The subject is a complex one, and the time taken to mount, conduct and process the necessary inquiries is the main determinant of the timing of the Pay Board's report. Nevertheless, the board is aware of the urgency and of the Government's wish to receive the board's report as quickly as possible.
