Mr. Marlow

asked The Prime Minister how many public appointees will be paid more than (a) her expected emoluments, and (b) her potential pensionable emoluments as set out in the Official Report of 15 May.

The Prime Minister

Of those appointments made by the Government, including the National Health Service, some 314 people are paid more than the emoluments I will actually draw if Parliament approves the proposals set out in my announcement of 15 May and some 15 people are paid more than the total salary attached to the Office of Prime Minister. Figures for local authority appointments are not available centrally.
