HC Deb 08 February 1973 vol 850 c185W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will impose a standstill order to prevent the British Broadcasting Corporation offering a salary of £12,500 to Mr. James Hill for doing a job similar to that for which London Weekend Television is now paying him £10,000.

Mr. Chichester-Clark

No. I am unable to determine whether there has been any breach of the standstill until details are available of the agreed services to be performed by Mr. James Hill and the remuneration to be paid by the British Broadcasting Corporation, if indeed any such agreement is in due course concluded.
