§ Mr. ChannonThere were no civil servants on a scale point or flat rate of exactly £8,000 per annum in June 1975. The salary scale of about 150 grades—approximately 3,500 staff—spanned £8,000 at that date. An example in the administration group is the senior principal scale, which was £7,750–£9,350 in June 1975 and was revised from 1 April 1979 to £9,872–£11,782. There are about 700 staff in the senior principal grade.
