Mr. Charles R. Morris

Salary survey officers recruited to the Civil Service Pay Research Unit from outside the Civil Service will be expected to have five years' general experience in personnel management including at least two years' specialised work in job analysis and evaluation or salary administration. Appointments will be for a limited period, with a salary range from £5,887 to £6,887 inclusive of London weighting and pay supplements.

asked the Minister for the Civil Service when he expects the Chairman and members of the new Civil Service Pay Research Unit Board to be appointed; and what will be their terms and conditions of appointment and their remuneration.

Mr. Charles R. Morris

Appointments will be made by the Prime Minister on a similar basis to those made to the pay Review Bodies and will be unpaid. An announcement will be made as soon as possible.

Mr. Paul Dean

asked the Minister for the Civil Service when the Civil Service Pay Research Unit will be reconstituted to include people from outside the Civil Service; and what proportion of the new unit will be civil servants.

Mr. Charles R. Morris
