PASC TO HOLD HEARING WITH THOSE INVOLVED IN SETTING TOP PUBLIC SECTOR PAY
The Public Administration Select Committee (PASC) is to hold a third full session in its inquiry into executive pay in the public sector. The hearing will be an opportunity to hear from a cross-section of those involved in setting pay at individual public bodies, as well as from the Senior Salaries Review Body, which advises Ministers on pay for parts of the public sector, including the senior civil service and sections of the NHS.
The session will be held on
Thursday 18 June, at
10.00am in the
Thatcher Room, Portcullis House. The witnesses will be:
At 10.00 am:
Chairs of Public Bodies
Tim Melville-Ross, Higher Education Funding Council for England
Dr Anne Wright, National Lottery Commission, and
Millie Banerjee, Ofcom Remuneration Committee
At 10.50 am:

Bill Cockburn, Chairman,
Mike Langley, Member, and
Keith Masson, Director of Secretariat
PASC’s inquiry is exploring how levels of pay and benefits for executive roles across the public sector are set and monitored-and whether they are set at the right level now. Further information about the issues and questions being covered is online at
