HC Deb 15 January 1971 vol 809 cc163-4W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Minister for the Civil Service whether he is aware that the approximate cumulative percentage increase in the pay of senior civil servants during the period from 1st Janu- ary, 1964, ranged between 4.8 per cent. for assistant secretaries to 1st April, 1970, and 6.2 per cent. for permanent secretaries to 1st July, 1970; and what were the latest figures quoting the 1st January, 1971, increases.

Mr. David Howell

There is no later figure for Assistant Secretaries. The revised cumulative annual figure for Permanent Secretaries is approximately 7.2 per cent., taking into account their voluntary waiver of the increase for six months.
