Science and Engineering Research Council

HC Deb 11 December 1990 vol 182 cc323-4W

Mr. Terry Davis

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science what was the amount of the special bonus paid by the Science and Engineering Research Council to its establishment officer in 1989.

Mr. Alan Howarth

Under a scheme for Science and Engineering Research Council employees operative at the time, merit awards were made in February 1990 to the council's establishment officer and to a number of other staff. It is not normal practice to make public the value of payments to individual members of the Science and Engineering Research Council staff.
