Mr. Ian Tegerdine:

I am afraid that I will have to plead some ignorance because I was not here when the work was done. It was subsequently lodged. My understanding is that the key sizing issues considered were whole-time equivalent staff numbers and the scale and size of the organisation in terms of its procedures and budget. There was a view of the complexity of the role involved. As far as I am aware, there was no consideration of security of tenure. These three key aspects were used in developing the model. It led to a link with existing pay scales such that complexity of X-size led to a point on the existing approved pay scales. If the Deputy wants to know more than this, I will have to go back and get it.
