HC Deb 08 April 1974 vol 872 c24W
Mr. Bruce-Gardyne

asked the Secretary of State for Employment whether, in view of the failure of the Pay Board to answer letters from hon. Members within one calendar month, he will dismiss the chairman.

Mr. Booth

No. The chairman of the board is responsible for ensuring that Members of Parliament receive replies as quickly as possible. It would not be practicable to lay down a rigid time limit.
