§ Mrs. BeckettTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer when the Treasury will publish its general schedule for 1994–95 for doctors undertaking part-time work for central Government Departments and other agencies.
§ Mr. AitkenThe Treasury will not be publishing revisions to the schedule which was effective from April 1993. It is not mandatory on Departments and agencies. Subject to any statutory Treasury involvement in specific cases, they can decide whether to vary the schedule's provisions in the light of their own judgments on best value for money and affordability within cash constraints.
