Mr. MacKenzie

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what was the average salary paid to an assistant secretary in the Civil Service at April 1979; how much is now paid on average to an assistant secretary; and how much of an increase this represents.

Mr. Lawson

[pursuant to his reply, 30 June 1983, c. 126]: The average basic salary of an assistant secretary was £12,840 in April 1979 and is now £22,486. This represents an increase of just over 75 per cent.
