§ Sir F. SYKESasked the Secretary of State for Air if he will state the numbers and salaries of the civilian staff employed at the Air Ministry in the finance, audit and accounting branches; the secretarial branches; and in supervisory duties over both the financial and secretarial branches, respectively?
§ Sir S. HOAREI am not sure that I apprehend precisely what figures my hon. and gallant Friend wants, but the particulars will be found in great detail in Vote 10 of Air Estimates, with the exception that, in consonance with the Air Ministry organisation, the Secretariat and Finance Divisions are shown together. Of the total staff of 282 shown under that heading, costing £123,156, the Finance Divisions account for 146, costing about £57,000.
