Northern Ireland (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill

Perhaps ““monkey”” and ““peanuts”” come to mind; I do not know what the salary will be. Nevertheless, the person who takes on the job will read this debate—I do not suggest that they will be listening to it—and be somewhat alarmed. The Minister may have put off a few potential applicants. The job is going to be a very low-grade job. The officer’s recommendation on the canvass need not be made public and can be overridden, and the very important responsibilities that should go with the job will rest with the Secretary of State. This is a very low-grade job.
