§ 9. Mr. T. HENDERSONasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs the reason for the increase of the salary of the editor of Foreign Office publication of pre-War records from £750 in 1926 to £1,075 in 1927; and if the cost-of-living bonus is payable in addition to this salary?
Mr. LOCKER-LAMPSONThe annual salary of the editor has not been increased. The increase of the amount shown in the Estimates is due to the fact that the full year's salary was not paid in previous years, part of it being payable only on the completion of half the work. Provision has been made for the possibility of half the work being completed during the coming year. Cost-of-living bonus is not payable in addition.
