§ Mr. BlairTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department when criteria for assessing the performance-related part of the salary of the director general of the prison service will be determined; and if they will be published.
§ Mr. Peter LloydFrom 1 April, when the agency came into being, the performance of the director general will he assessed on the basis of both qualitative and quantitative measures. They will reflect the prison service's key targets, as set out in the agency's corporate and business plans, copies of which are in the Library. The details of the arrangements for assessing the performance of the director general will be settled shortly, but they are personal to him and I have no plans to publish them. His salary, including his performance bonus, will, however, be published in October 1994 in the agency's annual accounts, a copy of which will also be placed in the Library.
