HC Deb 18 March 1957 vol 567 c16W
100. Mr. N. Pannell

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer the total expenditure on wages and salaries provided for in the Civil Estimates and Supplementary Civil Estimates for the year 1956–57, to the nearest £10,000,000.

Mr. Powell

I regret that the information for which the hon. Member asks is not available, and could not be obtained without a disproportionate amount of work. As regards the salaries and wages of non-industrial civil servants, however. I would refer him to the reply my right hon. Friend gave to the hon. Member for Newcastle-under-Lyme (Mr. Swingler) on 1st March last.
