§ Mr. MilburnTo ask the President of the Board of Trade if he will list the special advisers employed by his Department in each of the last five years indicating when they(a) joined and (b) left his Department and the annual salary they received.
§ Mr. Heseltine[holding answer 1 December 1994]: 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.
I also seek advice from time to time on an unpaid and informal basis from Sir Peter Levene.
