Business question from Baroness Keeley (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 17 February 2011. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

The Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government was asked on the BBC ““Today”” programme about having debates on senior pay in council chambers, which he is insisting on, but not on senior pay in Whitehall in this Chamber. He said:"““I don't see any reason why we shouldn't have this kind of debate in the House of Commons.””" We have heard that the Secretary of State gets confused about which sector he is talking about, so can the Leader of the House tell us whether he has any plans for a debate in Government time on senior pay, and will he extend it to low pay, which Opposition Members think is just as important?
