§ 38. Mr. WILLIAM COOTEasked the Secretary of State for War if there are any means available for the payment of a small remuneration to the secretaries of 2083 sub-pensions committees over the country; and if he is aware that this office has been worked as an honorary one, but that the work has increased so much that there is a growing feeling in these committees that some small remuneration should be made to the secretaries of subcommittees who are acting under the county committee in each county?
§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of PENSIONS (Sir James Craig)I have been asked to reply to this question. The payment of salary to the secretary of a sub-committee is within the discretion of the county committee, and at the present time a considerable number of these secretaries are in receipt of salaries.
