HC Deb 24 May 1944 vol 400 c756W
Mr. Salt

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what steps have been taken to increase the salaries of the directors of Government research establishments; and how their present salaries compare with those paid before the changes were made.

Sir J. Anderson

There has been no general change in the remuneration of the Directors of Government Research Establishments as such. It was, however, recently decided to bring up to a salary level of £2,000 a certain number of scientific posts which require outstanding professional qualifications, and involve specially heavy administrative responsibilities.
