HC Deb 04 August 1980 vol 990 cc49-50W
Mr. Nicholas Bonsor

asked the Prime Minister whether she will make a statement about the future of the three pay review bodies.

The Prime Minister

The Government have decided that the three pay review bodies—the Top Salaries Review Body, the Armed Forces Pay Review Body and the Doctors' and Dentists' Review Body—should continue to make recommendations on the groups within their terms of reference. As I said in my statement on 7 July, nationalised industry board salaries will be removed from the terms of reference of the Top Salaries Review Body.

I am glad to pay tribute to the chairmen and members of the review bodies for all that they have done in the preparation of their reports.
