HC Deb 04 February 1929 vol 224 cc1428-9W
Mr. SCURR

asked the Minister of Transport whether Sir Henry Maybury, who has resigned the position of Director of Roads and ceased to be a member of the Civil Service on engaging in private practice, retains an office at the Ministry of Transport; and, if so, will he state the conditions of tenure and the remuneration of any such position?

Colonel ASHLEY

On his retirement from the post of Director-General of Roads Sir Henry Maybury accepted a part-time appointment as Consulting Engineer and Adviser to the Ministry of Transport on road questions with a retaining fee of £1,000 a year. This appointment is terminable at any time by either party in the event of it being considered that, for reasons of health, or in view of the nature of his professional arrangements, it was not possible for him to continue to advise the Ministry in the manner contemplated. Sir Henry is also my representative (unpaid) on the London Traffic Advisory Committee, who have elected him to be their Chairman, and a room at the Ministry has been placed at his disposal.
