§ 10. Mr. A. V. ALEXANDERasked the President of the Board of Trade what is the estimated cost of the work of the Board of Trade Committee under the Merchandise Marks Act, 1926, exclusive of the sum for salaries, wages and allowances shown in the Civil Estimates, Class 6, Vote 1?
§ Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTERIt is impossible to estimate the cost precisely. Provision has been made under Subhead B of the Vote for any expenses incurred by this and other committees and inquiries.
§ Mr. ALEXANDERWhat is the reason for changing the position, and making this appointment salaried?
§ Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTERThat is not the question the hon. Member asked. He asked about expenses other than salaries. The reasons for making them salaried were given when the Bill was before the House and were approved by the House.
