Remuneration and pensions of members

2 (1) The Welsh Authority shall pay to each of their members, in respect of his office as such, such remuneration (whether by way of salary or fees) and such allowances as the Secretary of State may determine in the case of those members respectively; and, in determining the remuneration and allowances to be paid under this sub-paragraph, different provision may be made as regards the Chairman and the other members.

(2) If any member of the Welsh Authority, other than the Chairman, is employed about the affairs of the Welsh Authority otherwise than as a member of that Authority, the Welsh Authority shall pay to that member (in addition to any remuneration to which he may be entitled in respect of his office as a member) such remuneration, if any, as the Secretary of State may determine.

(3) The Welsh Authority may pay or make provision for paying to or in respect of any of their members such pensions, allowances or gratuities as the Secretary of State may determine in the case of those members respectively.

(4) Where a person ceases to be a member of the Welsh Authority otherwise than on the expiry of his term of office and it appears to the Secretary of State that there are special circumstances which make it right for him to receive compensation, the Welsh Authority may make to him a payment of such amount as the Secretary of State may determine.

(5) The approval of the Minister for the Civil Service shall be required for any determination under this paragraph.

(6) As soon as possible after making a determination under this paragraph, the Secretary of State shall lay a statement thereof before each House of Parliament.
