HC Deb 28 June 1921 vol 143 cc1970-1
40. Mr. R. RICHARDSON

asked the President of the Board of Education how many officials in his Department receive a salary of £1,000, including war bonus, or over; and how many received a salary of £1,000, or over, in June, 1914?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the BOARD of EDUCATION (Mr. Herbert Lewis)

The number of officials in the Board of Education who received a substantive salary of £1,000 or over in June, 1914, was 21. At present there are 56 officials whose substantive salary amounts to £1,000 or more; in addition, there are 185 officials whose substantive salary ranges between £560 and £1,000, but who receive remuneration at the rate of £1,000 per annum or over when war bonus at the present rate is included. The reduction of the war bonus contemplated to take effect on the 1st September next will reduce this latter figure by about 45.
