15. TO ANSWER QUESTIONS ASKED PURSUANT TO STANDING ORDER No 23
AND OF PORTFOLIO MEMBERS
Question received from Mr M J M Baker
Since the Labour government’s succession to power in 1997 there has been a proliferation of middle managers at the council, for example climate change, equality and inclusivity officers, although of course the employed rodent officers were dispensed with. Can Cllr Moore present a list of job titles that are in current use which did not exist in 1996 and a list of job titles that have been dispensed with during the last 12 months as part of the drive to keep the lid on council expenditure?
And finally how many staff does the council employ whose gross salaries exceed
£35,000 per annum and what proportion of these exceed £50,000 per annum.

None received.
DOCUMENTS
Recommendation: That the list of sealed documents is received by Members.
