asked the Secretary of State for Transport whether any part of the 125·4 per cent. increase during the past two years in the annual pay of the National Ports Council chairman was due to an adjustment of the time input basis of the pay calculation; and, if so, if he will specify the change in time input basis, and the increase in annual gross emoluments directly attributable to this.
The present chairman of the National Ports Council is appointed on the assumption that he commits twice as much time to his work as his predecessor was latterly giving.The change in the minimum time commitment accounts for the greater part of the apparent increase in the past two years. The rest of the increase was described in the answer to a Question by the hon. Gentleman on 8th November 1978. — [Vol. 957, c. 210.]
asked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will list in the Official Report the full-time occupation and the part-time official appointments held by the chairman of the National Ports Council.
None, apart from the chairmanship in question.
