Mr. D. G. SOMERVILLE

asked the Secretary for Mines how much of the remuneration of Sir Ernest Gowers at £7,000 a year represents the value of his post as chairman of the Coal Mines Reorgaisation Commission, and how much is compensation for his pension rights

Mr. SHINWELL

The points raised by the hon. Member are covered by the statement which, as I indicated in the reply I gave on Tuesday to the questions asked by the hon. and gallant Members for Gainsborough (Captain Crookshank) and Epsom (Commander Southby), I propose to make on the Report stage of the Supplementary Estimate, Class VI, Vote 6.
