Government Appoints Judicial Member for Senior Salaries Review Body
31 October, 2024
The Government has appointed Sir Christopher Bellamy as the Judicial Member of the Senior Salaries Review Body (SSRB) for a period of three years, commencing on 1 April 2025.
As Judicial Member, Sir Christopher will take responsibility for the SSRB’s independent review and recommendations on the pay and terms and conditions of service of the judiciary in England, Wales and Northern Ireland and senior civil servants in the UK Government and wider public sector.
The SSRB is an independent body that conducts regular reviews of the pay and terms and conditions of service of these senior roles. It makes recommendations to the Government, which then considers these recommendations and sets the pay and terms and conditions accordingly.
Sir Christopher is a retired Lord Justice of Appeal. He was called to the Bar in 1976 and took silk in 1995. He was appointed a High Court judge in 2005 and a Lord Justice of Appeal in 2013. He retired from the Court of Appeal in 2023.
Sir Christopher has a wealth of experience in the legal profession and a deep understanding of the roles and responsibilities of the judiciary and senior civil servants. He is also familiar with the work of the SSRB, having served as an ad hoc member of the SSRB in 2022.
Commenting on his appointment, Sir Christopher said:
“I am honoured to have been appointed as the Judicial Member of the Senior Salaries Review Body. I look forward to working with the other members of the SSRB to conduct independent and impartial reviews of the pay and terms and conditions of service of the judiciary and senior civil servants. I believe that it is essential that these roles are appropriately remunerated and that the terms and conditions of service are fair and reasonable.”
The Government is committed to ensuring that the judiciary and senior civil servants are paid fairly and that their terms and conditions of service are appropriate. The appointment of Sir Christopher to the SSRB will help to ensure that these important roles continue to be attractive to the best and brightest individuals.
