HC Deb 27 April 1981 vol 3 cc346-8W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many principals and their equivalents are employed in the Office of Population Censuses and Surveys; and what are their salaries and, where paid, London weighting allowance.

Sir George Young

There are 54 officers of principal or equivalent grade in the Office of Population Censuses and Surveys. Their salary scale is £10,600–£14,000 per annum. 44 are based in London and receive the weighting allowance.

Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what is the salary of the chief statistician of the Office of Population Censuses and Surveys; and whether, as the London weighting of £1,016 per annum is not paid, a car is supplied or the use of one is made available.

Sir George Young

The salary scale for the grade of chief statistician is £16,500–£19,500 per annum. There are three officers of this level in the Office of Population Censuses and Surveys, all receiving the London weighting allowance. None of these officers receives a car.

Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether the deputy director of the Office of Population Censuses and Surveys, in addition to his salary, receives a London weighting allowance of £1,016 per annum; whether he will give an outline of the job of the deputy director; and whether he receives a car or the use of one.

Sir George Young

The deputy director receives the London weighting allowance. He is responsible to the Director and Registrar General for the supervision and coordination of the work of the statistical divisions of the office—the population statistics, census, social survey and computer divisions. He does not receive a car.
