Below is the text of Mr Major’s written Commons question regarding Members’ Allowances, made on 23rd November 1979.


Mr. Major asked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster when he expects to receive the report of the Top Salaries Review Body on the secretarial allowances of Members of Parliament.

Mr. St. John-Stevas The delivery of this report is, of course, a matter for the review body. However, I can say that my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister hopes to receive the report in the next few months.
