Mr. Milburn

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if she will list the special advisers employed by her Department in each of the last five years indicating when they(a) joined and (b) left her Department and the annual salary they received.

Mr. Sackville

The special advisers employed by the Department over the last five years are:

Name
Mrs. T Keswick January 1989 to November 1990
Mrs. L Campey December 1990 to April 1992
Mrs. K Ramsay December 1990 to April 1992
Mr. R Marsh June 1991 to April 1992 and from April 1992 to the present day

Salaries for special advisers are negotiated individually in relation to their previous earnings, and are confidential. They are however normally paid on a special advisers' salary spine of 34 points, ranging from £19,503 to £67,609. Appointments are non-pensionable and the salary spine reflects this.
