The details of the staff in my own office and those of the two Ministers of State in my Department dealing with constituency work are set out in Table 1.

The salaries for the positions concerned are not paid on a monthly basis. Accordingly I have shown the equivalent annual salary scale for each position in Table 2. Table 1 – Constituency staff details
