Oral answer to question provided on Thursday, 23 March 2006 in the House of Commons, by Meg Munn (Labour), Minister for Women.


Positive Role Models

Answer

The hon. Lady is incorrect, as five Ministers do not receive salaries. I am not responsible for ministerial pay, but I wish that I had a pound for every time that I have been asked that question.

This is an answer to the Oral question asked on Thursday, 23 March 2006 by Angela Watkinson (Conservative).

Question
Is it not the height of hypocrisy for the Government to encourage others to provide a positive role model for women in society when its own splendid Minister for Women and Equality is the only Minister not to receive a ministerial salary?
