HC Deb 05 December 1978 vol 959 c565W
Mr. Banks

asked the Minister for the Civil Service if he will publish the pay rates for permanent secretaries in his Department compared with their nearest equivalent in the EEC Commission.

Mr. Charles R. Morris:

The current pay rate of the permanent secretaries of the Civil Service Department and of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office is£22,422 per annum, and that of the second permanent secretaries is£19,122. There is no equivalent to either permanent secretary grade among the staff of the European Communities. The nearest comparison is between the United Kingdom Civil Service deputy secretary—£15,629—and the EEC grade A1—gross basic scale, £38,531 to £48,266 per annum—at current rate of exchange; plus 2.3 per cent. net cost of living supplement.
