HC Deb 19 January 1976 vol 903 cc321-2W
Mr. Pardoe

asked the Minister for the Civil Service if he will list all the reports produced by the Civil Service Pay Research Unit during the past year; which of these have been published; and if he will place a copy of every report produced, both published and unpublished, in the Library of the House of Commons.

Mr. Charles R. Morris

In the last year before the suspension of pay research, the Pay Research Unit issued on a confidential basis to the parties responsible for negotiating non-industrial Civil Service pay 15 reports covering the grades of staff listed below:

  • Administration Group (Middle and Higher Grades).
  • Administration Group (Clerical Grades).
  • Typing and Machine Grades.
  • Teleprinter Operating Grades.
  • Messengers and Paperkeepers.
  • Cleaners.
  • Professional and Technology Group (in six parts:
  • Architecture.
  • Civil Engineering.
  • Mechanical and Electrical Engineering.
  • Quantity Surveying.
  • Lands/Estate Surveyors/Valuers, Electronics).
  • Telecommunications Technical Officers.
  • Radio Technicians.
  • Instructional Officers.
The understanding between the unit and the organisations participating in surveys is, and always has been, that its reports will not be published on any wider basis. I am, therefore, unable to meet the hon. Member's request to place copies of these reports in the Library of the House.
