§ Mr. R. C. Morrisonasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Information whether the joint managing director and the outdoor publicity manager of an advertising agency subsequently appointed to handle the national poster campaign still occupy paid posts at the Ministry of Information at salaries of £1,000 and £600, respectively; and what was the remuneration paid to their firm for handling the poster campaign?
§ Sir E. GriggTwo persons formerly employed by the advertising agency in question occupy posts in the Ministry at 1601W salaries of £1,000 and £750 per annum respectively. The agency was selected to handle the poster campaign not, as the hon. Member suggests, after, but before the appointment of these persons.
With regard to the second part of the question, no remuneration has yet been paid to this agency. The terms of payment will correspond with those arranged for similar work for other Government Departments.
