HC Deb 19 February 1919 vol 112 cc972-3W
Major PRESCOTT

asked the President of the Local Government Board if the new Director-General of Housing is required to give his whole time to the duties of his important office; whether a Deputy-Director-General of Housing and any Housing Commissioners have been recently appointed; and, if so, will he state who they are, their salaries, and whether they are required to give their full time to the duties of their respective offices?

Major ASTOR

Sir James Carmichael is giving the whole of his time to the Government Housing Scheme, although no specific condition to that effect has been imposed on him. Subject to the consent of the Treasury as to their remuneration, my right hon. Friend is appointing a Deputy-Director-General of Housing and a number of Housing Commissioners. These will be whole-time appointments. My right hon. Friend hopes to circulate a Paper showing the housing staff with their salaries.
