§ Mr. Bottomleyasked the Member answering for the House of Commons Commission if he will list the numbers and job titles of employees of the Commission whose gross pay in 1982–83 exceeded £15,362.
§ Mr. BeithI have been asked to reply.
The number and job titles of staff employed by the House of Commons Commission, with an annual rate, or on a salary scale which includes certain points exceeding £15,362 is as follows. The rates and scales quoted are those payable from 1 April 1983 except those indicated† which have been payable since 1 April 1982 and are currently under review. All scales include £1,250 per 70W annum inner London weighting allowance except that no such allowance is payable to those indicated by an asterisk.
The numbers of staff shown include some staff in grades with a salary scale exceeding £15,362 per annum who may individually be receiving an annual salary below that amount. Moreover, there are some staff not shown who receive a basic salary of less than £15,362 per annum but whose total emoluments, including overtime, night work payments or other extra duty allowances, and so on, may exceed that figure. Details of both categories could be supplied only at disproportionate cost.
