Water Services Staff Commission

HC Deb 27 June 1973 vol 858 cc341-2W

Mr. Spearing

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what salary, fees or allowances are paid to the members of the Water Services Staff Commission; and what is his estimate of their commitment of time relative to full-time employment.

Mr. Eldon Griffiths

The Staff Commission cannot be appointed until the Water Bill becomes law. The Water Services Staff Advisory Committee has been appointed in the meantime and an annual salary of £3,600 is payable to the chairman and £1,800 to the members, all on the basis of a two-day week.
