HC Deb 23 April 1917 vol 92 cc2029-30
40. Mr. GILBERT

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of National Service the number of paid and unpaid staff employed at St. Ermin's on the Ministry of National Service; and the estimated yearly cost of the paid staff?

Mr. WALSH

I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply given to the hon. Member for Cavan West on the 19th instant.

41. Mr. GILBERT

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of National Service whether the Department has other offices in London besides St. Ermin's; if so, how many and where they are situated; and the number of paid and unpaid staff employed in them and the estimated yearly cost of the paid staff?

Mr. WALSH

The National Service Department has no other offices in London besides St. Ermin's. If my hon. Friend desires it, I will send him a list of the offices outside St. Ermin's occupied by London Sub-Commissioners, but I may say that where these have found it necessary to take office accommodation and engage staff the cost has not so far in any case exceeded £2 a week.
