§ Mr. HAYDAYasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department how many officials in his Department are at present receiving a salary, including war bonus, of £1,000 or over; and how many received a salary of £1,000 or over in June, 1914?
§ Sir P. LLOYD-GREAMEThe number of officials borne on the establishment of the Department of Overseas Trade who are receiving salaries of £l,000, including war bonus at the present rate, is six. Four officers of the Board of Trade and one officer of the Foreign Office in receipt of such salaries are also employed in the Department. The Department was created in 1917, and comparison with June, 1914, is, therefore, not possible.
