Non-departmental Public Bodies (Pay) (Hansard, 23 February 1995)

HC Deb 23 February 1995 vol 255 c313W 313W

§ Mr. McAllion
To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food it he will list the non-departmental public bodies sponsored by his Department which will(a) follow the pay arrangements of the sponsoring Department and (b) pursue an independent and separate route under the delegated option (i) from 1 April 1995 and (ii) from April 1996.

§ Mr. Waldegrave
Of the bodies which MAFF sponsors, some jointly with the Secretaries of State for Scotland and for Wales, departmental pay arrangements currently apply to three—the royal botanic gardens, Kew; Horticulture Research International and Food from Britain. All are in discussions with the Ministry on the timing and nature of the arrangements to apply in future.
