HC Deb 07 May 1947 vol 437 c55W
66. Sir W. Darling

asked the Postmaster-General what was the total amount of salaries paid directly by the B.B.C. in England and Wales and in Scotland, respectively; and what was the amount of salaries paid, common to both countries for the last complete financial year.

Mr. Wilfred Paling

The services of the B.B.C. in the regions of England and Wales and in Scotland and Northern Ireland are an integral part of the whole service provided by the B.B.C. for the United Kingdom and I regret it is not practicable to give separate figures of expenditure in respect of salaries for any one Region.
