asked the Minister for the Civil Service whether he will publish as a White Paper an up-to-date list of members of public boards of a commercial character as at 1st July 1975 with salaries, together with a list of those holding more than one appointment, in order to bring up to date Command Paper No. 5609.

I intend to publish an up-to-date version of Cmnd. 5609 as soon as practicable after the Government have taken a decision about the salaries of nationalised industry chairmen and members in the light of the report on higher incomes by the Royal Commission on the Distribution of Income and Wealth.
