Mr. Howard

My Department employs two political advisers. Their salaries and conditions of work are negotiated individually in relation to their previous earnings, and are confidential. Economic advice is obtained from career civil servants, who may be employed on a variety of working patterns. The following numbers by grade are full-time equivalents:

  • Grade 6–1
  • Grade 7–1
  • Senior Economic Assistant—1
  • Senior Scientific Officer—1
