HC Deb 29 May 1919 vol 116 c1463W
Major NALL

asked the Minister of Labour what are the usual subsistence allowances given to members of a Royal Commission; and, in the case of members now sitting on the Coal Commission, is that amount a sum equal to £1,500 a year?

Mr. BALDWIN

Members of Royal Commissions are entitled to an allowance of one guinea for each night (covering a period of twenty-four hours), on which they may be necessarily absent from home on duties connected with the Commission. This rate is applicable to the Coal Industry Commission.
