§ Mr. Austin MitchellTo ask the President of the Board of Trade how many executive and non-executive directors there were in each water authority in the year before privatisation; what was their aggregate remuneration, and what is their current number and aggregate remuneration, including share options and other incentive payments.
§ Mr. AtkinsI have been asked to reply.
Information about the numbers and remuneration of water authority chairmen and members in the year prior to privatisation can be found in "Public Bodies 1989", issued by the Cabinet Office, Office of Public Service and Science. A copy of this publication is available in the Library.
Information relating to the numbers and remuneration, share options and other incentive payments of current water company directors is published in the annual reports of individual companies. This information is not held centrally.
