§ SIR GEORGE CAMPBELLasked Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, If the issue of general rules for regulating the connection of public servants, both executive and judicial, with Joint Stock Companies and other enterprises, and their receipt of emoluments as directors and managers, has yet been considered; and, if any decision has been arrived at?
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Mr. CHILDERS)The matter to which my hon. Friend's Question refers has not come before me since I became 754 Chancellor of the Exchequer; but now that my attention has been called to it by my hon. Friend's Question I will take care to look into it. It is one, however, which does not concern the Treasury only, but which may, perhaps, require the collective action of Her Majesty's Government.
§ SIR GEORGE CAMPBELLsaid, that as the Prime Minister, while he was Chancellor of the Exchequer, had promised to look into the matter, he would repeat the Question on a future occasion.
