§ 17. Mr. MORRIS (forasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department if he will state the total amount of the salaries of the 67 administrative officers 841 of the British Empire Exhibition, showing separately the total amount of the five largest salaries paid to the salaried heads of the Exhibition?
Mr. SAMUELI am informed by the British Empire Exhibition authorities that the total amount of the salaries of the 67 administrative officers of the Exhibition is approximately £4,000 per month; that is to say, an average of roughly £60 per person per month. As regards the latter part of the question, it is not usual to give such particulars as the hon. Member asks for. I can, however, assure him that, in my opinion and in that of the Financial Controller to the Exhibition, who was nominated by the Treasury, the salaries of the principal officers are reasonable.
