§ Mr. Christopher Priceasked the Secretary of State for the Environment by whom the officials of the Local Audit Commission will be paid; and whether their salaries will be on local or central Government pay scales.
§ Mr. King[pursuant to his reply, 20 January 1983, c. 191]: The commission will pay the salaries of its officials. Initially district audit service staff will generally be seconded to the commission and will be paid on Civil Service scales. The pay scales of directly-employed staff, other than the controller, will be for the commission to determine.
