48. Major HARVEYasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer the salaries, respectively, of the Director and Assistant Director of Statistics and Intelligence in the Inland Revenue Department, and also the number of clerks employed in this Department during the last financial year and the total amount of salaries paid for that year to the staff; and will he give the corresponding figures of numbers and salaries for the financial year ending 1914?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLNo remuneration is paid to the Director of Statistics and Intelligence, the duties of the post having been assumed by one of the existing Assistant Secretaries of the Board of Inland Revenue. The salary of the Assistant Director is £750, plus cost-of-living bonus, amounting to £211. The number of the subordinate staff during 1924–25 was on average 70; the salary cost, including bonus, being £12,850. The corresponding figures for the financial year ended 1914 cannot be separately ascertained, as the cost of the services now performed by the staff of the Director of Statistics and Intelligence was included in the cost of other branches of the Department.
