HC Deb 01 May 1919 vol 115 c326
76. Mr. HAYDN JONES

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Munitions whether he will state the salary paid to the superintendent of the explosives store at Dinas Mawddwy; what his duties consist of and the amount of time devoted to such duties, also the salary of each of the two clerks and their respective duties; whether about ten labourers are still employed at the store, and, if so, for what purpose; and whether, in the interests of national economy and having regard to the fact that explosives are only stored at Dinas Mawddwy, he will take steps to dispense with the services of these persons?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of MUNITIONS (Mr. Kellaway)

The superintendent is paid at the rate of £200 per annum. He is responsible for the safe custody and administration of the magazine; these duties occupy the whole of his time. The two clerks are paid 60s. and 35s. per week; the first is a tally clerk and the second is a woman clerk engaged on ordinary clerical duties. The ten labourers are employed in handling and storing the packages of explosives.
