The following table sets out the salaries payable to the holders of the offices whose pay is covered by the recommendations of the Review Body on Top Salaries. These salaries were payable from 1 April 1979 as a result of the Government's decision to implement the recommendations in the review body's report No. 11. Most of the nationalised industry board members are paid on salary ranges and in these cases the salaries shown are the mid-points of these ranges.
The table also shows the corresponding salaries for these offices net of tax on the hypothesis that the office-holder is entitled to only the married man's tax allowance. The table does not, of course, purport to show the actual post-tax salaries of the office-holders concerned. The position under the tax rates and allowances set by the 1979 Finance Act is shown in (1), while column (2) shows the position that will apply following the implementation of the tax changes proposed in the Budget.
