HC Deb 22 January 1986 vol 90 cc180-1W
Mr. Dykes

asked the hon. Member for Berwick-upon-Tweed as representing the House of Commons Commission, if he will give figures and grades, titles and rank for those officers of the House of Commons whose salaries are (a) higher and (b) lower than those of hon. Members.

Mr. Beith

The number and grades of staff employed by the House of Commons Commission, with an annual basic rate or on a salary scale which includes certain points exceeding £17,702, are given in the chart. All scales include £1,365, or a proportion of this figure, per annum inner London weighting allowance except that no such allowance is payable to those indicated*. The numbers of staff shown include some staff in grades with a salary scale exceeding £17,702 per annum who may individually be receiving an annual salary below that amount.

The remaining grades of staff currently in receipt of an annual salary of less than £17,702 are included in the list of all staff given in Statement C to the "Seventh Annual Report of the House of Commons Commission 1984–85", a copy of which is held in the Library. The salaries of certain grades of staff at various levels are in the course of revision following a recently completed grading review conducted by the Commission's Staff Inspector.

The salaries of all staff employed by the Commission are linked to those of Civil Service grades.
