§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for the Environment (1) whether he will list, for the longest and most convenient stated period of time, the actual time, in hours, worked by the three vice-presidents of the London rent assessment panels for their £6,500 per annum salaries; and what claims and payments 418W to their normal full-time occupation and their part-time employment.
§ Mr. EyreNo president or vice-president has other full-time occupation.
Following is the information: in travelling and subsistence allowances were paid for the same period of time;
(2) whether he will list, for the longest and most convenient stated period of time, the actual time in hours, worked by the 24 vice-presidents of the provincial rent assessment panels for their £6,500 per annum salaries; and what claims and 419W payments in travelling and subsistence allowances were paid for the same stated period of time;
(3) whether he will list, for the longest and most convenient stated period of time, the actual time in hours worked by the 14 presidents of the provincial rent rent assessment panels for their £6,750 per annum salaries; and what claims and payments in travelling and subsistence allowances were paid for the same stated period of time.
§ Mr. EyrePresidents and vice-presidents are paid only a proportion of the full time salary according to the time worked. A full time provincial vice-president is paid £6,000 per annum and not £6,500.
Following is the Information:
London Vice Presidents2 work full-time at £6,500 per annum.1 works 4 days per week at £5,200 per annum.1 works 1 day per week at £1.300 per annum.Since 4th April, 1972, £159.47 has been paid in travelling and subsistence allowances.Provincial Presidents1 works full-time at £6,750 per annum.2 work 4 days per week at £5.400 per annum.3 work 3 days per week at £4,050 per annum.6 work 2 days per week at £2,700 per annum.2 work 1 day per week at £1,350 per annum.Since 4th April, 1972, £809.77 has been paid in travelling and subsistence allowances.Provincial Vice Presidents5 work 3 days per week at £3,600 per annum.3 work 2½ days per week at £3,000 per annum.9 work 2 days per week at £2,400 per annum.1 works 1½ days per week at £1,800 per annum.8 work 1 day per week at £1,200 per annum.1 works ½ day per week at £600 per annum.1 works less than 1½ day at £400 per annum.There are also four Vice Presidents recently appointed whose salaries have not yet been settled.Since 4th April, 1972, £854.75 has been paid in travelling and subsistence allowances.
§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary, of State for the Environment whether he is aware that the 41 presidents and vice- 420W presidents of the rent assessment panels, employed on a part-time basis, are costing his Department £256,500 per annum plus the costs of their travelling expenses and subsistence allowances; and whether he will investigate the saving resulting from making theirs a full-time service.
§ Mr. EyreThe present cost in salaries to the Department is £136,350 per annum, and not £255,500 as quoted by the hon. Member. Were it possible to appoint people to fill these posts on a full-time basis—and it very rarely is—fewer people would be appointed but they would work the equivalent amount of time to that worked by the part-time appointees, and there would in effect be no saving, as the part-time appointees are only paid the appropriate fraction of the full-time salaries.
