HC Deb 11 February 1942 vol 377 cc1517-8
36. Major Lyons

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Works and Buildings whether any, and what, sums for expenses are paid to any, and which, directors of the Ministry, both salaried or not, respectively?

Mr. Hicks

The following sums are paid, to cover travelling and subsistence expenses, to the Directors named, none of whom are in receipt of salary:

  • Director of Demolition and Recovery, £500 a year.
  • Director of Roofing, £300 a year.
  • Director of Works, £205 a year.
  • Director of Cement, £200 a year.
All salaried officers receive reimbursement of their expenses in accordance with Treasury rates.

Major Lyons

Do I understand from that answer that the person who was commissioned to do architectural work, at fees exceeding £20,000 in one year, draws £200 a year as well as expenses?

Mr. Hicks

The Director of Works receives £250 a year for travelling expenses.
