§ Mr. CryerTo ask the Secretary of State for Employment if he will list the ministerial advisers appointed in his Department for each year since 1979, the salary each person received, whether paid directly or to another employer, and the duties undertaken, whether solely in his Department or in conjunction with other Departments; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. FowlerThe following list shows the ministerial advisers appointed or on secondment to the Employment Department since 1979. It is not our practice to reveal the salaries of individual advisers as they are individually negotiated in relation to previous outside earnings and are therefore confidential. The duties of each adviser were as laid down by the employing Minister and were for Employment Ministers only.
