HC Deb 17 May 1973 vol 856 cc367-8W
39. Sir G. Nabarro

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what discussions occurred between his Department and the board of directors of Lonrho concerning payments to serving members of the board in respect of salaries, expenses and allowances, including provision for accommodation, rent-free or otherwise, and what dispensations, if any, were granted to such directors to nego- tiate terms of salaries and allowances outside the scope of the wages and incomes standstill policy of Her Majesty's Government; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Maurice Macmillan

My Department has had no communication with the company about such matters since the counter-inflation policy was introduced on 6th November 1972. The enforcement of provisions relating to remuneration which apply to directors of companies as to other individuals, is now the responsibility of the Pay Board.
