Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Lord President of the Council whether he will cause an investigation to be made into the reduction in the purchasing value of hon. Members' salaries since October 1974 to date and to submit this to the Boyle committee.

Mr. Foot

As I told my hon. Friend on 29 February—(Vol. 961, c. 333.]— the Government have submitted information to the Top Salaries Review Body on a variety of matters relevant to its deliberations, including the effects of inflation on Members' salaries.
