Public Accounts Committee

Department of Justice and Equality - Review of Allowances

11:40 am

Mr. John Clinton:

There was an 8% increase or an operational allowance. The reason it is not called a pay increase is we were not able to receive a pay increase during the term of the national wage agreements. Therefore, the increase became an operational allowance. Any other payment is strictly related to extra attendance.
