HC Deb 29 March 1974 vol 871 cc227-8W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Lord President of the Council when he expects to receive the report of the Boyle Committee on the Second Review of Mem- bers of Parliament's salaries and conditions; and whether, as a matter of urgency, he will request the committee to consider pension rights of Members of Parliament being placed on the same basis as civil servants.

Lord President

No reference on Members' salaries has yet been made to the Top Salaries Review Body, and the Government will have to consider the possibility. If a review is undertaken it will be for the Review Body to decide whether to recommend any changes in the Members' pension scheme.
