§ Mr. FreemanThe salary of the chairman of London Transport was increased by 25 per cent. and that of the deputy chief executive by 13.7 per cent. from 1 April 1990; these increases reflected additional responsibilities each had previously assumed. Other board members received increases of 8.5 per cent. or 8.6 per cent. My right hon. and learned Friend has not yet considered proposals for pay increases for members from 1 April 1991.
