§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Minister for the Civil Service whether, in his policy of reducing public expenditure, he will take whatever action may be proved necessary to ensure that no person employed full or part-time in a quasi-autonomous non-governmental organisation or any other Government body receives more in salary and expenses than the Minister who is in charge of the Department for which the person works.
§ Mr. ChannonNo. The remuneration of these employees is fixed by reference to different criteria from those applying to the salaries of Ministers, which are determined on the basis of specific recommendations by the Top Salaries Review Body.
