§ 25. Mr. HANNONasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury the salaries paid to the four civil servants acting on the Disposal and Liquidation Com mission; the Votes on which these salaries are borne; how the allowances of £1,380, provided in the Civil Services Estimates, 1923–24, are apportioned; the nature of these allowances; and the nature and amount of other allowances, if any, to these civil servants borne on other Votes?
§ Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSThere are only two civil servants who are members of the Disposal and Liquidation Commission, and these are the two joint secretaries. One who acts, in addition, as accounting officer receives £2,200 per annum (no bonus), and the other receives £1,800 per annum, plus bonus £200. The War Office Vote bears £1,500 in each case and the bonus, and the Commission Vote bears £700 and £300 respectively, the two latter sums forming part of the £1,380 referred to in the question. The remainder of the £1,380 borne on the Commission Vote is made up by allowances to the assistant secretary of £300 (now increased by £250 formerly borne by the War Office Vote) and £75 to the private secretary of one of the joint secretaries. The allowances are for performing duties superior to those appropriate to the substantive salaries of these civil servants, who are not in receipt of any other allowances.
