§ 79. Mr. LESLIE BOYCEasked the Minister of Health whether he is providing office accommodation for the staff of the Greater London regional planning committee; if so, what is the estimated cost; the number of the present staff and the respective salaries paid; under whose control are the offices and staff; and what is the limit of the expenditure?
§ Mr. GREENWOODThe office accommodation provided by me is negligible. It consists of the partial use by one of the staff of the Committee of a room occupied by an officer of my Department who, in addition to other duties, acts as Secretary to the Committee, and, as such, receives no salary. Accommodation for the remaining staff is provided elsewhere at the expense of the Committee. The number of the present staff is six, and the annual salaries and remuneration amount to approximately £2,650. The offices and staff of the Committee are under their control. The expenditure of the Committee is limited by the contributions which the constituent authorities have agreed to pay.
