§ Mr. LANSBURYasked the Home Secretary if it is proposed to abolish the post of Labour Adviser to the Home Office when Mr. D. Shackleton vacates the position to take up his duties as an Insurance Commissioner?
§ Mr. McKENNAThe answer is in the negative. The work done by Mr. Shackleton at the Home Office has been so valuable that it would be greatly to the public interest to appoint a successor to him in order that his work may be continued.
§ Mr. JOYNSON-HICKSWas not Mr. Shackleton appointed at a larger salary than usual, and will the salary be reduced to the customary level?
§ Mr. McKENNAI think Mr. Shackleton received the maximum rate at once, but only on the ordinary scale. I must ask for notice of the question.
§ Mr. LANE-FOXCan the right hon. Gentleman announce who is his successor?
§ Mr. McKENNANo, Sir.
