Mr. Dan Smith, Mr. George Pottinger and Mr. John Poulson

HC Deb 11 July 1972 vol 840 cc295-6W

Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will list, for the longest and most convenient stated period of time, the amounts of public funds paid to Mr. Dan Smith and Mr. George Pottinger; for what purposes they were paid; and whether during this period any such moneys were paid to Mr. John Poulson.

Mr. Nott

The information is not readily available. The only payments to Mr. Pottinger have been in respect of salary and allowances appropriate for the various posts he has held in or on secondment from the public service.
