asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many officers temporarily or permanently employed in his Department are in receipt of pensions or other allowances from the State exceeding the sum of £250 per year, and the salary such persons are receiving in the positions they at present occupy, either as temporary or permanent officers?

Of the personnel for whom provision is made on the Vote for the Treasury and subordinate Departments, there are four officers who are in receipt of pensions or similar allowances from the State exceeding the sum of £250 a year. Two receive a salary of £800 a year and two a salary of £450. All four officers are engaged in the historical section of the Committee of Imperial Defence.
