§ Mr. Joel Barnettasked the Minister for the Civil Service what are the salary scales of district valuers compared with those in similar employment in industry, the professions, local and national government, and nationalised industries.
§ Mr. Kenneth BakerCurrent information about the salaries for valuation work in the private sector is not readily available. Staff engaged on valuation work in the Civil Service are paid on scales similar to those paid to staff employed on other professional work and the same arrangements apply in representative areas elsewhere in the public sector. The scales for district valuation staff are as follows:
First Class Valuer … £5,218-£5,987 Senior Valuer … £4,010-£4,760 Valuer (Main Grade) … £2,910-£3,760 Valuer … £2,390-£2,910 The salaries for these grades are determined by comparison with the remuneration of staff employed on a range of broadly comparable work, including valuation, in the private and public sectors and the current scales reflect the levels of pay for similar work outside the service at 1st January 1972.
