What are the salary and time requirements for all chairmen of public bodies appointed by the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government.[HL6557]
Information on remuneration of chairs of public bodies is published in the annual Cabinet Office publication Public Bodies, prepared by the Agencies and Public Bodies Team in the Cabinet Office. The most recent published edition of Public Bodies provides information as at 31 March 2005.
Depending on the type of public body and the levels of responsibility, time input varies. All DCLG chairs of public bodies are part time, except one body, where an acting chair is full time on a temporary basis until the new chair is appointed. The time commitment ranges from meeting regularly two or three days per week, for most executive bodies, to meeting four times a year, for one advisory body.
Details on appointments made during the financial year, including remuneration and time commitments, are published in the department’s annual report.
