MR. WEIR

I beg to ask the Financial Secretary to the War Office, if he will state the period for which. Mr. Donaldson has been engaged as Superintendent of the Royal Small Arms Factory at Enfield, and the salary attaching to that appointment; and, will he state the terms of Mr. Donaldson's appointment as Deputy Director General of Ordnance Factories?

MR. POWELL-WILLIAMS

Mr. Donaldson has been appointed under a Civil Service Certificate, on the usual conditions. His salary is £1,500 a year.

MR. WEIR

The right hon. Gentleman has not answered the second paragraph.

MR. POWELL-WILLIAMS

Yes, I said they were the usual terms under the Civil Service Certificate.

MR. WEIR

What are they?

MR. POWELL-WILLIAMS

The hon. Member must get the information elsewhere.
