– in the House of Commons am ar 8 Tachwedd 1939.
Major Abraham Lyons
, Leicester East
asked the Prime Minister the respective salaries or emoluments received per annum, or to be received, by the chairman of the British Council and the other paid officers of the Council?
Mr R.A. Butler
, Saffron Walden
Since the answer is rather long, I will, with the hon. Member's permission, circulate it in the OFFICIAL REPORT.
Major Abraham Lyons
, Leicester East
In view of the fact that the British Council have not met since 1936, when and by whom were these salaries fixed and these gentlemen appointed?
Mr R.A. Butler
, Saffron Walden
I should require notice of that; but I must refute any suggestion that the British Council have not met since 1936.
Major Abraham Lyons
, Leicester East
Is it not a fact that the British Council have not met since 1936?
Mr R.A. Butler
, Saffron Walden
I do not know what the hon. and learned Gentleman means by "the British Council have not met," but I know that its activities have greatly increased and that it has done a great deal of valuable work.
Mr. Graham White:
Does it not meet at least every month?
Mr R.A. Butler
, Saffron Walden
