HC Deb 28 March 1979 vol 965 c186W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Energy whether, without involving disproportionate costs, he will give for one selected person, un-named, his actual travelling and subsistence allowance and salary whilst attending the board, committee or tribunal of which he may be a member for which his Department has ministerial responsibility.

Mr. Benn

Expenses paid over a period of 12 months to the members of one of my Department's committees range from nil to £530. All members serve without salary.
