§ 101. Mr. WESTWOODasked the Solicitor-General for Scotland the number of inspectors of schools in the service of the Scottish Education Department in the years 1916, 1917, and 1918, the average salary paid to each, the total cost, and the number of inspectors for the years 1921 and 1922, with the average salary and total cost?
§ The SOLICITOR-GENERAL for SCOTLANDAs the answer to this question contains a number of figures, I am having it circulated in the OFFICIAL REPORT.
§ Following is the answer:
| SCOTTISH EDUCATION DEPARTMENT. | ||||
| Inspection Staff. | ||||
| Year. | No. of Inspectors. | Average Salary. | Total cost of Salaries. | |
| £ | £ | |||
| 1916–17 | … | 72 | 446 | 32,093 |
| 1917–18 | … | 72 | 452 | 32,568 |
| 1918–19 | … | 72 | 509 | 36,631 |
| 1921–22 | … | 65 | 869 | 56,462 |
| 1922–23 | … | 64 | 746 | 47,749 |
§ Note.—The figures as to salary in the foregoing table represent the amounts actually paid, including bonus. For the years 1916–17, 1917–18 and 1918–19, the amounts are somewhat below the normal owing to the fact that those members of the staff who were on military service did not receive their full civil salary.
