§ 41. Mr. G. WHITEasked the Secretary of State for War the number of civilian employés, including temporary employés, on 1st April, 1914, and at the present time, and the comparative amounts in salaries, etc., of this personnel; and how much of the difference in the latter figure can be attributed to the difference in the cost of living?
§ Mr. WALSHI regret that the terms of the question submitted by the hon. Member are too indefinite to enable a specific answer to be given. If he will give me further detail, I will endeavour to give him such information as I can.
