HC Deb 27 February 1947 vol 433 cc2268-9
30. Mr. Vane

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power how many employees of the Petroleum Board or of the petroleum district companies and who are temporarily seconded to the Petroleum Board, are now performing nominal duties only; what is the estimated total of weekly salaries so paid; and what plans exist for ensuring their full employment.

Mr. Shinwell

The Petroleum Board is a commercial undertaking, and I have no information regarding the duties of, or the salaries paid to, the members of their staff.
