asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Shipping how many officials were employed by the Ministry of Shipping at a salary of £100 a year and upwards or. 11th November, 1918, and at the present time, respectively?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of SHIPPING (Colonel L. Wilson)

The number of officials at a salary of £100 a year and upwards were:

  1. (1) Headquarters—
    • 11th November, 1521 (excluding 157 Naval and Military Officers and 78 Volunteers).
    • Present date, 1,478 (excluding 37 Naval and Military Officers, and 28 Volunteers).
  2. (2) Out ports (excluding New York and Montreal) —
    • 11th November, 389 (excluding 82 Officers, and 21 Volunteers). Present date, 114 (excluding 1 Volunteer).
I would point out to my hon and gallant Friend that the apparent small decrease on the Headquarters Staff figure is accounted for by a recent general increase in salaries.
