§ Mr. William Hamiltonasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many paid appointments are within his official patronage; what are the maximum and minimum salaries involved; and how these figures compare with those of 1958.
§ Mr. Edward ShortI appoint to five salaried posts, and to 105 posts which attract fees or honoraria. Salaries range from £2,805 per annum to £8,100 per annum, and fees and honoraria from £12 12s. for each day of attendance to £1,000 per annum. Comparable figures for 1958 are not available since most of these posts, in the Research Councils and
166Wthe University Grants Committee, were not then the responsibility of my Department.
