§ Mr. HORE-BELISHAasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether, seeing that the Navy, Army, and Air Force 561W Institutes are under the official control of the three Service Departments, he will state whether the service representatives on the corporation are paid by the corporation for the assistance they render?
§ Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANSI have been asked to reply. I am not sure whether the hon. and gallant Member is referring to the members of the Council of the Navy, Army, and Air Force Institutes or to the members of the board of management. The former, whose duties are intermittent, receive no remuneration for their services on the Council. As regards the latter, the service representatives receive their ordinary emoluments, part of the cost being borne in the case of the Army and Air Force representatives by the Navy, Army, and Air Force Institutes. I understand that in the case of the naval representative, who gives only part of his time to the work of the institutes, no part of the cost falls on the Navy, Army, and Air Force Institutes.
