ANGLO-PERSIAN OIL COMPANY.

HC Deb 09 July 1928 vol 219 c1856

51. Mr. T. WILLIAMS

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many ex-civil servants, pensioned or otherwise, are at present occupying administrative positions with the Anglo-Persian Oil Company?

Mr. SAMUEL

I have no knowledge of the staff employed by the Anglo-Persian Oil Company. Both of the two Government directors have been in Government service, but neither of them is in receipt of a pension from the State.

Mr. WILLIAMS

Will the Financial Secretary obtain the information sought in the question?

Mr. SAMUEL

No, Sir. It is not within the province of the Chancellor of the Exchequer to make such inquiries.
