HC Deb 04 May 1994 vol 242 cc542-3W
Mr. Kaufman

To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster if he will list for each of the "next steps" agencies now in operation and for each such agency due to come into operation for which the relevant information is available,(a) its chairman or chairwoman, (b) its chief executive and (c) other directors, executives and officers; and if he will set out the annual salary and emoluments for each, together with the cost to public funds, and number of employees, of each agency.

Mr. Waldegrave

There are 96 agencies and the name of the chief executive and the number of staff, as at 1 October 1993, of each is set out in the table. There are a further 56 agency candidates and four chief executives-designate have been appointed, who are also listed.

There are no chairmen or chairwomen; chief executives normally report directly to the responsible Minister. Information on the salaries and emoluments of chief executives and officers and the cost to public funds is not held centrally but can be obtained from the annual reports and accounts of each agency, which are available in the Library of the House. Some of the information will also be available in departmental annual expenditure reports.
