§ Mr. Skinnerasked the Secretary of State for Employment whether he will submit the remuneration of the manager of Everton Football Club to the Pay Board; and by what amount it exceeds the Government's formula.
§ Mr. Chichester-ClarkThe details of remuneration applicable to this appointment are not known but the Price and Pay Code which is operated by the Pay Board stipulates that new recruits to existing jobs should not be paid more than those they replace.
However, under the Counter-Inflation (Returns and Records of Remuneration) Order 1973 those who employ 10 or more persons are required in respect of each employee to record his terms and conditions of employment, the amounts and dates of payments of his remuneration and how these amounts were made up. It will be for the Pay Board to scrutinise these records and to assess whether any remuneration offends the Price and Pay Code.
