Request
Under the terms of the Freedom of Information act I am writing to you seeking the following information:-
1. Details of the salary and rewards package paid to the Chief Executive and Directors of the King’s Printer for Scotland (KPS)?
2. Details of the amount paid to each in expenses over each of the last 5 years – please what these were paid for.
3. Details of the amount collectively paid in by your organisation to the pension pots of these senior officers in each of the last five years.
Please note, I am not asking for the names of individuals but would appreciate all data provided by designation.
Outcome
No information held.
Response
I can confirm that the King’s Printer for Scotland (KPS) does not hold this information. The KPS has no directors of its own and although the office of the KPS is held by the Keeper of The National Archives of the United Kingdom, this work is not remunerated separately from the Keeper’s role as head of The National Archives. Therefore we do not hold information on the Keeper’s salary, expenses and rewards package for KPS work.
Section 92(5) of the Scotland Act specifies that the Queen’s Printer of Acts of Parliament shall hold the Office of Queen’s Printer for Scotland. The KPS is based at The National Archives and the functions of the KPS are carried out from within The National Archives. The staff who deliver these services also support wider legislation publishing across the UK. There are no individual members of staff allocated to the KPS on a full-time basis and anyone who performs KPS duties is an employee of The National Archives.
