The information sought by the Deputy is as follows:

			Present Staff

Outturn	1993	£24,935	Programme Manager/Personal Assistant

Outturn	1993	£42,969	Special Adviser/Personal Secretary/Personal Assistant

Since the programme manager in my Department is an established civil servant the figures include the allowance element only of his remuneration.
