§ Mr. Isaacsasked the Minister of Supply whether he will state the personnel of the Paper Control Board, the salaries paid, and the previous occupation of each member of the board; the total number of the persons in the employ of the board and any directions or instructions under which the Control is operated; and will he supply copies of any regulations issued to the purchasers of the paper?
§ Mr. BurginWith regard to the names and previous occupations of the senior staff of the Paper Control, I would refer to the answer which was given yesterday to the hon. Member for Oxford University (Mr. A. Herbert). The salaries attached to the posts of Controller, Deputy Controller and Assistant Controller are £1,500, £1,200 and £1,000 respectively. Up to the present the Controller and the Deputy Controller have not accepted any remuneration. The number of persons in the employment of the Paper Control is 64. As regards the last part of the question, the Paper Controller is entrusted with the administration of Orders made by me from time to time under the Defence Regulations. No special regulations are issued to purchasers of paper other than the relevant provisions of the Orders referred to, which are published as Statutory Rules and Orders and are obtainable from the Stationery Office or through any bookseller.
