HC Deb 13 October 1975 vol 897 c585W
Mr. Anthony Grant

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many civil servants in his Department are paid more than the various Ministers within it.

Mr. Robert Sheldon

If the Parliamentary salaries of £3,000 for the Chancellor of the Exchequer and £3,700 for other Treasury Ministers are included, there are four civil servants with salaries greater than that of the Chancellor of the Exchequer and ten civil servants with salaries greater than those of the Paymaster-General, the Chief Secretary, the Minister of State and myself.
