5. Supplementary memorandum from the Government
Equalities Office
At the Committee hearing on EHRC on 2 December,
we undertook to provide members with:
— The profile of expenditure of the transition
programme that set up the Commission.
— A breakdown of the costs arising from
the disposal of unwanted properties inherited from the Legacy
Commissions.
— A breakdown of the loss on disposal of
unwanted assets inherited from the three Legacy Commissions.
— Notes on the legacy and current EHRC
property portfolios.
— A note on the four Programme Directors
in the Transition Team.
I enclose notes on all these issues, which we
have already shared informally with the National Audit Office.
I also attach a summary note setting out the context for this
information.
In addition, the Committee also asked for confirmation
of Mr Kinghan's rate of pay, and his expected earnings as interim
Director-General of the Commission until the end of his current
contract at end-January 2010. As an interim employee, Neil Kinghan
works a four-day week and is paid a non-pensionable sum of £1,000 a
day. By 31 January, he is expected to have been paid £138,000.
