HC Deb 01 February 1972 vol 830 cc88-9W
94. Mr. Barry Jones

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what moneys he will pay as part-time remuneration to the Chairman of the Sports Council for Great Britain; what time he will devote to his duties; what is the appropriate full-time remuneration for such a post; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Eldon Griffiths

As from 1st April, 1972, when the Sports Council becomes fully operative, the chairman's fee will be payable by the council itself. Remuneration for full-time appointments at this level in other comparable bodies would be of the order of £8,000 per annum. In this case, as duties amounting to the equivalent of two full days per week are envisaged, the proportionate figure is £3,200.
