HC Deb 29 January 1941 vol 368 c550
31. Mr. Lipson

asked the Minister of Transport whether he will state, of those employed by his Ministry and in receipt of salaries of £600 a year and over, how many there are whose previous experience was acquired mainly in respect of railway transport, or road transport, respectively?

Lieut.-Colonel Moore-Brabazon

Of those employed by the Ministry in receipt of salaries of £600 a year and over, 21 were, before their appointment in this Department, associated with railway transport and 28 with road transport.

Mr. Lipson

Is my right hon. and gallant Friend aware that there is a widely held feeling that the interests of road transport are being sacrificed to those of rail transport, and the public looks to him to see that a reasonable balance is maintained?

32. Mr. Lipson

asked the Minister of Transport whether he will state the number of persons employed by his Ministry, temporarily or permanently, including regional traffic commissioners' organisations, in receipt of salaries of £350 a year or over?

Lieut.-Colonel Moore-Brabazon

The total number employed with salaries of £350 per annum and over is 666.
