§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Prime Minister to what extent the Chairman and Members of the Committee he has appointed to investigate financial matters connected with the City will be able to draw expenses and payments; on what basis and what amounts; and whether these payments will be additional to those received from Government sources for other part-time activities.
§ The Prime MinisterAs with other Government committees and commissions, the chairman and members of this Committee will be able to claim travel expenses between home and place of 607W official duty. While on the business of the Committee they will be entitled to receive subsistence allowances, subject to the normal Civil Service rules, and in certain circumstances they may also be entitled to limited compensation for loss of earnings. Reimbursement of travel expenses will reflect the actual costs incurred and, in the case of allowances, the relevant Civil Service rates in force at the time claims are made. Such payments do not constitute payment for services, and will therefore be additional to any payments received from Government sources for other part-time activities.
