HC Deb 23 January 1981 vol 997 c250W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Minister for the Civil Service what would be the annual saving to Exchequer funds if all members of the House of Lords were debarred from drawing any salaries or expenses from public funds other than daily attendance allowances.

Mr. Hayhoe

The information is not available centrally and could not be obtained without disproportionate cost. There is no question of paying peers who undertake public duties anything other than the proper rate for the job.
