HC Deb 28 June 1949 vol 466 c72W
48. Mr. Erroll

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what was the total cost of the Economic Planning Board during 1948; how much of this cost was represented by salaries paid; and how much represented travelling and other personal expenses incurred by members of the Board.

Sir S. Cripps

The salaries and travelling expenses of the seven official members of the Board are borne by their Departments, but it is not practicable to identify what portion of them it attributable to work solely connected with the Board. No charge to public funds has arisen in respect of the six non-official members.
