10. Mr. TYSON WILSONasked the Financial Secretary to the War Office the amount of salary paid to each of the two Army lieutenants who have been appointed travelling inspectors of goods and material for the War Office; and what are the qualifications they have for that position?
§ Mr. FORSTERThese officers are not employed as inspectors of goods and materials, but as supervisors over the large numbers of viewers who are scattered up and down the country at outlying contractors' works. One of these officers is paid £450 a year, and the other about £300 a year.
§ Mr. FORSTERThey are very well qualified for supervising the work of the viewers or men engaged in the technical part of the business.
Mr. TYSON WILSONIs the hon. Gentleman aware that these gentlemen are passing materials and goods which the viewers have refused to pass?
§ Mr. FORSTERNo, I am not aware of that fact.
