Lewis asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if, taking into account the practice of increasing the salaries of the chairman and board members of nationalised industries and certain publicly owned bodies such as British Leyland and Rolls-Royce, in line with those agreed for top civil servants and judges, he wall estimate the total increase in public expenditure and its effect on inflation as measured by the retail price index.

As my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister told the House on 7 July 1980, nationalised industry board members have been removed from the TSRB's remit. Their salaries are thus no longer determined in the same way as those of senior civil servants or judges. The Government have not yet taken decisions about pay increases for them this year.The cost of the increases for the judiciary, senior civil servants and senior officers of the Armed Forces announced by the Prime Minister on 12 May will be contained within existing cash limits except in the case of those judges whose salaries are paid directly from the consolidated fund. The effect on public expenditure will therefore be minimal.

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he has completed his investigations into the special corporate advance by Anglia building society to Thornton Baker Nominees; and whether he will make a statement.
