Mr Derek Conway MP - Standards and Privileges Committee Contents


ANNEX

Allowing for uprating of Henry Conway's salary in line with the formula set out in paragraph 20 of this Report, we calculate that he was overpaid by £1,576 in 2002-03; by £1,095.83 in 2003-04; and by £309.15 in 2004-05. Together, these sums total £2,980.98. As for bonuses paid to Henry Conway, we find that the bonuses paid in 2002-03 and in 2004-05 were within 15% of what we maintain would have been a reasonable salary, but that the bonus paid in 2003-04 exceeded that threshold by £164.36. There was thus a gross overpayment to Henry Conway of salary, including bonus, of £3,145.34. In addition, the overtime payment to Henry Conway, assuming it was made at the time-and-a-half rate specified in his contract of employment, included an overpayment of £91.52.

To these sums might be added excessive payments of Employer's National Insurance contributions totalling £398.55 (including £11.71 in respect of overtime), and excessive pension contributions that come to £122.42 (including £9.15 in respect of overtime). If these are added to the gross salary and overtime overpayments, the total cost to the House of Mr Conway's overpayments to Henry Conway was £3,757.83.
