Public Accounts Committee
Department of Justice and Equality - Review of Allowances
1:35 pm
Mr. John Clinton:
That is correct. We had to go before the Civil Service Arbitration Board acting in an ad hoc capacity and were precluded from putting in a pay claim. We had to do this by way of including an allowance in the nature of pay. Otherwise, everybody would have said we had received an increase and there would have been a knock-on effect. We got this purely because we could show significant savings.
