§ Mr. Henderson Stewartasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Information whether the persons, other than civil servants employed on the headquarters staff of the Ministry of Information, at salaries which have been stated, are also in receipt of salaries in respect of the posts which they held before their appointment with the Ministry?
§ Sir E. GriggThe Ministry is not concerned with any payments which may be made, except from Government funds, to persons now employed in the Ministry, in respect of the posts which they held before their appointment. But there are in fact a few persons employed in the Ministry to whom their former employers with admirable public spirit have continued to make some supplementary payment from their own resources.
