§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for Employment what account he took of the concern of lower-paid public servants about the level of their remuneration in fixing the remuneration of the chairman of the Standing Commission on pay comparability; and if he will now reduce that salary by 50 per cent.
§ Mr. Harold WalkerThe salary of the chairman of the Standing Commission on pay comparability is based on a rate equivalent to salaries paid for comparable public appointments. It is not intended that it should be reduced below that level.
