Business without Debate

Tuesday 8th June 2021 Commons Chamber

Information Commissioner (Remuneration)

Motion made and Question put forthwith (Standing Order No. 118(6) and Order of 25 May),

That, from 1 November 2021—

(1)the Information Commissioner shall be paid a salary of £200,000 per annum and pension benefits in accordance with the standard award for the civil service pension scheme;

(2)all previous resolutions relating to the salary and pension of the Information Commissioner shall cease to have effect.—(Tom Pursglove.)

[John Spellar (Warley) (Lab)]

Object. Will I be right, Madam Deputy Speaker, that the Division will therefore be deferred?

[Madam Deputy Speaker (Dame Rosie Winterton)]

The right hon. Gentleman is saying no; the Division will be deferred until tomorrow.

[John Spellar]

The Information Commissioner is doing a lousy job and £200,000 is far too much.

The Deputy Speaker’s opinion as to the decision of the Question being challenged, the Division was deferred until Wednesday 9 June (Standing Order No. 41A).
