• Mr Frederic Lloyd, director-general of the West Midlands Passenger Transport Executive, is to get a pay rise that will put
him in the £12,000 a year bracket backdated to July 11971.
And this increase, accepted by the PTA — not, it is understood, without demur — is not pleasing the area's busmen for, as a TGWU official has pointed out, the application to have their own recent pay award for crews backdated to last July was refused by the Authority which insisted on January 1 1972 as the operative date.
Mr Lloyd will now get £11,220412,472 a year — approximately £230 a week. He was appointed in 1969 at a salary of £9000, rising by four annual increments to £10,000. Including a 124 per cent increase in July 1970 there have been further increases.
The new 7+ per cent pay rise award brings the salaries of the other six W. Midlands executive directors to £8103£9355.
