§ 32. Mr. Osborneasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation whether he will give a list of positions to which he makes direct appointments in the transport industry which carry a salary of £2,000 and over, giving the salaries in each case.
§ Mr. Boyd-CarpenterParticulars of these appointments, including the salaries attaching to them, were given in the annual White Paper "Public Boards" issued in December last.
§ Mr. H. HyndDoes that return refer only to the British Transport Commission, and, if so, and as the Question asks about the transport industry, can the Minister give some particulars of salaries in private industry?
§ Mr. Boyd-CarpenterThe Question, of course, relates to appointments made by me.
§ Mr. OsborneCan my hon. Friend say how many appointments carry this salary and how many were made when right 388 hon. and hon. Gentlemen opposite were in power?
§ Mr. Boyd-CarpenterIf my hon. Friend will count the figures in the White Paper he will get the figure. The dates appear about particular appointments, but this is a continuing process.
