HC Deb 28 June 1972 vol 839 cc373-4W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Employment whether he will give the number of the staff in his Department who will be affected by the Boyle proposals to increase salaries by 20 per cent. to 25 per cent.; what salaries they now receive; and to what extent these will be raised on the implementation of the Boyle Report.

Mr. Chichester-Clark

The Review Body's recommendations, published on 23rd June (Cmnd. 5001), affect 48 staff at Under-Secretary level and above in my Department. The overall average increase

is just over 7 per cent. per annum since the pay of this group was last reviewed in July, 1969. Information about current salaries may be found in the Top Salaries Review Body's Report.
