C SELECT COMMITTEE STAFFING
AND COSTS IN DETAIL
1 Select Committee Staff
Details of the staff serving a particular select
committee are set out in their publications.
In many cases, committee staff carry out duties in
the service of the House unrelated to their work for a particular
committee. For some staff, especially those working in offices
other than the Committee Directorate, those duties account for
most of their work.
This analysis of the staff who served select committees
during Session 2012-13 is therefore presented office by office.
NUMBERS AND GRADES OF STAFF SERVING SELECT COMMITTEES
Committee Directorate
Staff | FTE
|
Band SCS1A to 3: Principal Clerks*, and Legal Adviser to JCHR**
| 7 |
Band SCS1: Deputy Principal Clerks
| 16.8 |
Band A1: Head of Media and Communications for Select Committees
| 1 |
Band A2: Senior Clerks, Senior Committee Specialists, Legal Specialists etc
| 45.7 |
Band A3: Assistant Clerks
| 3 |
Band B1: Committee Specialists, Media Officers, Senior Executive Officers etc
| 41.2 |
Band B2: Senior Committee Assistants etc
| 31 |
Band C: Committee Assistants, Secretaries etc
| 32.3 |
Band D1: Committee Support and Senior Office Support Assistants
| 11.4 |
Band D2: Office Support Assistants and Sandwich Students
| 4.10 |
*The Committee Directorate's Principal Clerks have
supervisory and management responsibilities, and also performed
additional functions as Clerks of Select or Joint Committees.
One Principal Clerk was detached to act as Clerk of the Parliamentary
Commission on Banking Standards. The Clerk of Committees is Clerk
of the Liaison Committee; one Principal Clerk of Select Committees
is the Second Clerk of the Liaison Committee and Clerk of the
Joint Committee on National Security Strategy.
**Costs are shared with the House of Lords
This Table includes staff working directly for Committees
and those in a support role. For example, the Scrutiny Unit provides
specialist help to select, joint and other committees, mainly
but not exclusively in financial, policy and legislative scrutiny.
Staff costs for the Committee Directorate, including
the Scrutiny Unit, in Session 2012-13 were approximately £9.8
million. Of this, £0.6 million is attributable to the staffing
costs of the Parliamentary Commission on Banking Standards and
part of this will be recovered from the Treasury.
The Table above does not include all staff who were
employed on a temporary/fixed term basis for the Parliamentary
Commission on Banking Standards.
33 staff worked for the Parliamentary Commission
on Banking Standards during Session 2012-13. Of those, 17 were
House of Commons staff, 1 was House of Lords staff, and 16 were
non-parliamentary staff seconded from both the public and private
sector. There was large variety in the periods of time that different
staff worked for the Commission and in their working patterns.
The estimated total cost to the House of Commons in staffing the
Commission during Session 2010-12 was £600,000. The House
was able to absorb some of these costs: the additional staffing
costs incurred by the House was estimated to be £450,000.
As at 1 May 2013, 5 members of staff who worked in
the Committee Directorate were on maternity leave, 4 were on secondments
and 13 were on career breaks.
