§ Mr. MellorThe earnings of most prison officers comprise basic pay; shift pay; weekend premium pay and overtime. The average gross earnings of each grade of prison officer based on pay scales applicable from 1 April 1982, are shown below. Those given for the basic grade officer are applicable in the fourth year of service, and those given for other grades are based on the scale maxima. For the weekly paid grades — prison officer, senior officer and principal officer-it has been assumed that an average of 16 hours overtime is worked per week, and that 5–6 hour shifts are worked on alternate weekends. For the salaried grades — chief officer II and chief officer I—it has been assumed that eight extra hours are worked per week.
consideration will be given to the possible development of community radio after the VHF band II planning conference which is to be held in Geneva next year.
