The Noble Lord may find this further information to be of assistance.<\/p>
As set out in the Parades Commission\u2019s annual report for 2013-14, the Chair and members are paid annual salaries of £50,000 and £22,000 respectively. The total expenditure for the Parades Commission for each of the last ten years is listed below:<\/p>
