§ Mr. McAllionTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if 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 pay option (i) from April 1995 and (ii) from April 1996.
§ Mr. LangSuch information will not be available for some time. Of the 49 existing executive NDPBs sponsored by my Department, around one third have pay arrangements involving a close link to national civil service settlements. It will be for the management in each NPDB concerned to develop and bring forward proposals over the coming year for new pay arrangements to operate following delegation of civil service pay to Departments and agencies and in the absence of national settlements from April 1996.
