HC Deb 07 November 1989 vol 159 c582W
Mr. Murphy

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science what proportion of the publicly funded PCFC recurrent budget for 1989–90 is allocated at institutional level to the gross salaries, subsidised housing and fringe benefits of the chief executives of each higher education corporation, and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Jackson

As I told the hon. Member in reply to his question of 22 May at column 369, the Department collects information on the gross salaries of individual directors and principals of PCFC sector institutions for the purposes of the teachers' superannuation scheme, but the release of this information would be incompatible with the requirements of the Data Protection Act 1984. Information on subsidised housing and other fringe benefits for the directors and principals is not collected centrally.
