HC Deb 14 November 1996 vol 285 c313W
Mrs. Fyfe

To ask the President of the Board of Trade if he will make it his policy to require companies to publish annually the salaries paid to their highest and lowest paid staff. [2036]

Mr. John M. Taylor

[holding answer 13 November 1996]: I have no plans to require companies to publish this information.

Companies are already required to disclose certain information about the remuneration of their employees and of their directors. In many cases this includes a requirement to disclose the remuneration of the highest-paid director.
