§ 45. Sir A. V. Harveyasked the Minister of Aviation what are the terms of Mr. Masefield's appointment as chairman of the Airports Authority.
§ 49. Mr. Royleasked the Minister of Aviation why he has not appointed a full-time chairman of the London Airport Authority.
§ Mr. Roy JenkinsI have appointed Mr. Masefield to be Chairman of the Authority for a period of five years at a salary of £6,000. His appointment requires him to devote such time to the 205W Authority's affairs as I think necessary. For this task I regard expert knowledge, energy and flexibility of mind as more important than full-time attendance and I am convinced that Mr. Masefield has these qualities in full measure.
