HC Deb 04 November 1983 vol 47 c476W
Mr. Stephen Ross

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what salaries are payable to those recently appointed to hold office on the boards of the regional water authorities within England.

Mr. Waldegrave

The salaries of non-executive members of regional water authorities will be within the range £3,000 to £5,000 a year. Non-executive members designated as deputy chairmen will receive a total salary of up to £7,500. Actual amounts payable are still being settled, and will depend on the allocation of responsibilities to individuals.

Full-time executives have been appointed to board membership at the same salary as they formerly earned as employees. They range from £32,611 to £40,635. Chairmen's salaries range from £16,500 to £32,000.
