asked the Prime Minister if he will make a statement as to the future salaries and emoluments of the chairmen and members of the boards of nationalised industries, in view of the uncertainty which at present exists on this subject.
Mr Clement Attlee
, Stepney Limehouse
No alteration in the salaries of chairmen and members of the boards of socialised industries is at present contemplated.
Mr David Gammans
, Hornsey
Do I understand that the threat made by the Secretary of State for War is just another irresponsible statement?
Mr Clement Attlee
, Stepney Limehouse
I understand from a report I have seen that the Secretary of State for War expressly said it was not a threat.
Mr Marcus Lipton
, Lambeth Brixton
Is my right hon. Friend aware that a great many people do think that these payments are rather too generous?
Colonel Sir Alan Gomme-Duncan
, Perth
Can the right hon. Gentleman say whether any alteration in the emoluments of the Lord High Commissioner for the Church of Scotland' is in view?
Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
