HC Deb 26 July 1984 vol 64 c754W
Mr. Gordon Brown

asked the Secretary of State for Energy if he will list all payments made to Mr. Ian MacGregor and is associated firms following his appointment as chairman of the National Coal Board.

Mr. Giles Shaw

My right hon. Friend the then Secretary of State for Energy gave the House on 28 March 1983 details of the payments to be made to Lazard Freres in compensation for the loss of Mr. MacGregor's services. Mr. MacGregor receives the normal salary due to him as chairman of the National Coal Board, but no other payments have been made to him or to Lazard Freres.

Mr. Gordon Brown

asked the Secretary of State for Energy if he will list what payments he expects to make in the coming year to Mr. MacGregor and his associated firms following his appointment as chairman of the National Coal Board.

Mr. Giles Shaw

None—but Mr. MacGregor will of course be receiving his normal salary as the chairman of the board.
