Mr. Radice

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will update the information on civil service salaries given in theOfficial Report of 20 January 1993, columns 254–57, in answer to the hon. Member for Devizes (Mr. Ancram).

Mr. Dorrell

New pay arrangements have been introduced for these grades. There are therefore no salaries exactly equivalent to those given in the previous reply.

The nearest equivalents for 1993 are as follows:

Grade 1Salary £ 2Percentage of average earnings
AA 38,878 53.9
AO 310,632 64.5
EO 314,307 86.8
HEO 317,895 108.6
Grade 7 429,338 178.0
1 National pay scales applying to civil servants outside London.
2 Percentage of gross national earnings calculated on the basis of New Earnings Survey figures, which include overtime and allowances.
3 Standard pay, as at 1 April 1993.
4 The old scale maximum (as at 1 April 1992) increased by the across-the-board increase of 3.9 per cent, payable from 1 August 1992, plus a settlement of 1.5 per cent, payable from 1 August 1993.

Staff can earn higher salaries through good, or better performance.
