HC Deb 21 February 1992 vol 204 c312W
Dr. Marek

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he has any plans to amend the principle whereby the rates of civil and public servants are a matter of public record.

Mr. Maples

[holding answer 20 February 1992]: There are no plans to change arrangements whereby the Treasury makes publicly available pay scales, maxima and minima for the main civil service grades.

The pay of individual officers will continue to be confidential to the individual, apart from in the case of a small number of senior staff whose pay is a matter of public interest.

Policy for other parts of the public sector is a matter for the organisations concerned.
