§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Minister for the Civil Service which public servants, other than hon. Members, have had their salaries frozen and or salary increases limited within the Government's cash guide limits during the past two years.
§ Mr. HayhoeThe provision for pay in almost all of the public services has been subject to cash limits during this period, apart from the police for whom about 50 per cent. of the provision comes from a specific Government grant, which is not cash-limited.
§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Minister for the Civil Service whether she will give the actual or estimated total cost in salaries, holidays and payments therefor, sickness payments, marriage allowances, pension rights and all costs involved in employing 100 of the top paid civil servants and 100 of the lower paid.
§ Mr. HayhoeThe estimated total cost of employing the 100 top paid civil servants is £3,386,000 and taking the 343W average paid clerical assistant working outside London to represent the lower paid, the total cost of employing 100 of this grade is £434,000.
