§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Minister for the Civil Service whether he will give the total number of civil servants and other Government-paid employees who were at 1st July 1977 receiving in salaries and expenses £135 a week or more.
§ Mr. Charles R. MorrisThe only individual records of salaries and expenses which are held by my Department are of civil servants' basic pay and other pensionable emoluments. On 1st April 1977, the latest date for which information is available, there were 23,000 civil servants or rather fewer than one in 30 whose basic pay and other pensionable emoluments totalled £135 or more a week.
