§ Mr. ROBERT MCLARENasked the Home Secretary if he is aware that Sir R. Redmayne is Chairman of the recently formed imperial Mineral Research Hoard; docs he receive a salary for the same; if so, how much in addition to his salary of £1,500 a year as Chief Inspector of Mines, although not acting as such, and £300 a year as technical adviser to the Coal Controller; and will he take steps to prevent a Civil servant being paid by a Department or Departments for which he docs no work?
§ Mr. SHORTTSir Richard Redmayne is Chairman of the Imperial Mineral Resources Bureau. He receives no salary in that capacity. The position is, therefore, the reverse of that suggested in the question. Sir Richard Redmayne does work for a Department from which he receives no pay.
