§ Mr. Derek FosterTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will name the 24 seconded staff in the Private Finance Panel Executive; and if they are employed on civil service pay and conditions. [25360]
437W
§ Mr. JackThere are 25 members of the Private Finance Panel Executive: 13 are seconded; the remaining 12 are employed directly by the PFPE. Panel executive members on secondment from other organisations are:
- Mr. Douglas Hogg (Chief Executive)
- Mr. Rees Griffiths (Deputy Chief Executive)
- Mr. Alisdair Evans
- Ms Catherine Clarke
- Ms Philippa Roe
- Ms Nathalie Nonninton
- Mr. Chas Johnson
- Mr. Neil Carey
- Mr. David Goldstone
- Mr. Andrew Neil
- Mr. David Cain
- Ms Angela Brewis
- Mr. Alex Harris.
Secondees to the PFPE remain under contract to their employer and their pay and conditions are a matter for them and their employer. The PFPE negotiates with employer organisations an agreed level of reimbursement.
The PFPE is also subject to an overall budgetary constraint. Within this, it fulfils its remaining staffing requirement through direct employment on the basis of short-term appointments. The PFPE, as a limited company, has management responsibilities for its staff which are unconnected with civil service terms and conditions.
