WESTMINSTER VIEWPOINT


DURING the scorch­ ing hot weather the Chamber of the House


of Commons was deli­ ciously cool. But there


was plenty of hot air about the place. New members queued


up to make their maiden speeches and new Minis­ ters (or old Ministers in new offices) got off to shaky s ta rts and dis­ tracted the Opposition for a moment or two from its own troubles. The Prime Minister failed in her ef­ forts to get the House to accept a four per cent pay increase. I am sorry she failed,

in the tail because another resolution was also passed linking MP’s pay after five years to that paid to a civil servant receiving £18,500 a year now. It was a ridiculous resolu­


tion passed against the strong advice of the Gov­ ernment and I cannot be­ lieve that it will ever be implemented. Goodness knows how much a civil se rv an t now earning £18,500 will be drawing by January 1st, 1988, and if 1987 is election year it will be a fine time for MPs to be giving them­ selves yet another big in­ crease!

I AM overwhelmed with immigration cases. Lately I have been criticised for being unldnd to Cypriots; but in fact the Govern­ ment has been most generous giving any one displaced at the time of the Turkish invasion in 1974 the right to stay here.
