§ Mr. WelshTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what are the present salaries of each of the local government directors and depute directors responsible for water and sewerage in Scotland; and what arc the annual expenses paid to each of the councillors involved with water and sewerage committees in their duties on those committees.
§ Mr. Kynoch[holding answer 7 March 1995]: From the information held centrally, it is not possible to provide information on the precise salaries of the directors and depute directors of water and sewerage. We believe that most directors of water and sewerage are paid in the broad range of £50,000 to £65,000. One earns in excess of £80,000.
No information is available about the expenses paid to councillors serving on water and sewerage committees, as these are matters for local authorities to decide.
§ Mr. WelshTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland how many local government directors and depute directors have responsibility for water and sewerage services in Scotland.
