§ 41. Mr. Errollasked the President of the Board of Trade on what date Mr. Hindley's £5,000 a year salary as Chair- 1186 man of the Raw Cotton Commission commences.
§ Mr. BelcherThe full salary will commence on the 1st January, 1948. For the month of December this year, Mr. Hindley has agreed to receive from the funds of the Raw Cotton Commission only the difference between the full salary and the salary he will receive from the National Coal Board.
§ Mr. ErrollDoes that mean that his work for the Raw Cotton Commission will be full time from 1st January and that his work with the National Coal Board will cease on that date?
§ Mr. BelcherYes, Sir.
§ Mr. Emrys HughesCan my hon. Friend say whether Mr. Hindley as chairman of the Raw Cotton Commission receives more or less than the salary paid to Lord Hyndley of the raw Coal Board?
§ Mr. BelcherI am afraid that I have no information at all on that subject.
