§ MR. BELLAIRS (Lynn Regis)To ask the Prime Minister, as Chairman of the Committee of Imperial Defence, whether the post of Secretary to the Committee of Imperial Defence has yet been filled; and whether, in view of the importance of the duties, the salary 1584 will be continued at the same rate as was the case with its former occupant.
(Answered by Sir H. Campbell-Bannerman.) No vacancy will arise in the-office in question until October next, when Sir George Sydenham Clarke will take up his duties as Governor of Bombay.
