HC Deb 22 October 1945 vol 414 cc1830-1W
Mr. Jennings

asked the President of the Board of Trade the salaries to be paid to each of the members of regional boards for industry; and how part-time employment is to be denned.

Sir S. Cripps

Members of the Regional Boards are unpaid but will receive travelling and subsistence allowances on the usual scale while engaged on official business. The Chairmen of the Boards will be entitled to a fee of 350 guineas per annum. Travelling expenses will also be paid. Chairmen and Members of Regional Boards will devote whatever time is necessary to the business of the Boards. The expression part-time is used to signify that the Chairmen will not be required to give up their ordinary occupation,
