HC Deb 01 July 1914 vol 64 cc359-60
38. Mr. J. HOGGE

asked why a special allowance of £100 is to be provided for future occupants of the post of principal architect for the Scottish Office of Works?

Mr. BENN

The allowance is given in respect of special responsibility attaching to the post, as stated by the Holmes Committee in paragraph 21 of their Report.

Mr. J. HOGGE

What are the special responsibilities apart from the special responsibilities that the present occupant has?

Mr. BENN

They are identical.

Mr. J. HOGGE

If they are identical, why is not this allowance being given now?

Mr. BENN

The special responsibilities are identical, the general responsibilities are not.
