Administrative / biographical background:

The Committee of Inquiry into the Payment and Conditions of the Non-Home Department Police Forces was set up by the Lord Privy Seal, Lord Peart, in November 1978, under the chairmanship of E D Wright. Its terms of reference were:

"To examine the relevance of recommendations of the Edmund-Davies Committee to the pay and conditions of service and responsibilities of other police forces in the public sector whose rates of pay have in the past, directly or indirectly, followed those of the Home Department's forces."

The Wright Committee presented its final report to the Lord President of the Council, Lord Soames, in June 1979, and it was published in July 1979.
