Cabinet Pay Hike Seen for Great Britain Ministers
A special committee representing all English parties in London is studying ministerial salaries with expectations of raising pay.

Ramsay MacDonald, earning about 5,000 pounds before tax, is highlighted as an example of income insufficient for housing and hospitality costs at 10 Downing Street.
