§ Mr. MACQUISTENasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury what are the salaries and the bonus additions or allowances now being paid to the Undersecretary for Scotland, the Secretary to the Scottish Education Department, and the Vice-Chairman of the Local Government Board for Scotland; and how do these salaries and bonuses compare with the salary of the Secretary for Scotland?
§ Mr. BALDWINThe Under-Secretary for Scotland and the Secretary to the Scottish Education Department each receive a salary of £2,200 plus £500 bonus. The Local Government Board for Scotland now forms part of the Scottish Board of Health, and the Chairman who was previously Vice-President of the Local Government Board receives a personal salary of £1,800 plus £750 bonus. The salary of the Secretary for Scotland is £2,000 without any bonus addition. As the hon. Member is doubtless aware, the Select Committee on Remuneration of Ministers recently recommended that the salary of the Secretary for Scotland should be increased to £5,000.
