§ 46. Mr. LAWSONasked the Prime Minister whether he can now state which members of the Unemployment Assistance Board are to give full time to their task; and whether he is now in a position to state the salaries of each member and, if so, what are the amounts?
§ Mr. BALDWINThe salaries of the Chairman and Deputy-Chairman, who will be required to devote their whole time to the work of the board, will be £5,000 and £3,000 respectively, subject to the current "cut" appropriate to these salaries. The other members of the board, who will be required to devote as much time as the work may reasonably require but will not be asked to 1747 hold themselves at the whole time service of the board, will ordinarily receive £750 per annum. In the case of one of the present appointments, however, that of Professor Hallsworth, a personal salary of £1,200 will be paid as it will be necessary for him to relinquish his present professorial post. The Chairman will be appointed for seven years, the Deputy-Chairman for five years, and the other members for three years.
