HC Deb 16 July 1992 vol 211 c880W
Mr. Head

To ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Lord Chancellor's Department, what decisions the Government have made about the Top Salaries Review Body recommendations concerning the regrouping of senior circuit judges and others in group 5.

Mr. John M. Taylor

The Government have accepted the TRSB's recommendations for regrouping. Some of the posts in the existing group 5 will be moved to a new group 5, at the same level as official referees; others will be reclassified in group 6 with a salary lead, although existing incumbents will be paid the new group 5 rate. As announced by my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister on 10 July 1992,Official Report, column 288, the Government have not accepted the other recommendations affecting the judiciary.
