HC Deb 14 July 1970 vol 803 cc185-6W
Mr. Golding

asked the Minister for the Civil Service what criteria he will use to determine the levels of pay for different occupations in the Civil Service.

Mr. David Howell

The primary criterion will continue to be one offair comparison with the current remuneration of outside staffs employed on broadly comparable work, taking account of difference in other conditions of service as recommended by the Priestley Commission in its Report in 1955—(Cmd. 9613).
