§ 78. Mr. BATEYasked the Secretary for Mines if he can state the amount paid in the coal industry as remuneration for directors in the month of March, 1921, and March, 1926, or such later month as is available?
§ Colonel LANE FOXThese figures are not available, but the Report of the Royal Commission states with reference to directors' fees that "their amount is negligible—less ½d. than per ton."
§ Mr. MARDY JONESWould the right hon. Gentleman tell the House what number of coal directors hold coal directorates in as many as 10 to 30 companies, and draw directors' fees for each of those companies?
§ Colonel LANE FOXNo, Sir.
