Not all specialist advisers are necessarily working for Committees at any one time, depending on the particular inquiries on which a Committee are engaged.
Specialist advisers are paid on a per diem basis for work done. Three scales, based on university ranks and in line with those paid for similar work by the civil service, are used. The current daily rates are:
£ Professors 50–70 Senior Lecturers and Readers 40–50 Lecturers 22–42 The total cost of specialist advisers (including expenses) in Session 1979–80 was £97,081.
