§ Colonel WOODCOCKasked the Minister of Labour the amount of the remuneration of the Director of the Inter-national Labour Office; whether any sum is paid to him by way of allowance for travelling expenses or entertainment expenses what was the amount for last year; and whether any account is rendered by him of such expenses?
§ Sir H. BARNSTONThe salary of the Director of the International Labour Office is 90,000 Swiss francs per annum. In addition, travelling expenses are refunded to the Director, as to the rest of the staff, as and when they are necessarily incurred. The Director is paid an enter- 971W tainment allowance which is shown each year in the published accounts; in 1924 the amount was 30,000 Swiss francs. So far as my right hon. Friend is aware, no detailed accounts of the expenses incurred by him in entertainment have been rendered to or asked for by the governing body.
