asked the Minister of Agriculture what was the total cost of the Sea-Fish Commission for its first year of operation, showing salaries, separately, and when its first report will be published.
As the reply contains a number of figures, I propose, with the hon. Member's permission, to circulate it in the Official Report.
Is the right hon. and gallant Gentleman aware that the answer to the last part of this question cannot contain anything statistical, and, therefore, will he give me an answer to that?
Certainly. The Commission's report reached my Department yesterday and will be published as soon as possible.
Following is the remainder of the reply:
The total net expenditure of the White Fish Commission for the period nth July, 1938, to 10th July, 1939, inclusive, was £2,092, made up as follows: —
£ | |
Salaries | 10,535 |
Travelling and miscellaneous expenses | 784 |
Total | 11,319 |
Less receipts from registration fees | 9,227 |
Net Cost | 2,092 |
