§ MR. J. E. ELLIS (Nottingham, Rushcliffe)I beg to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer when he expects to be in a position to give the names of the persons to be appointed under the First Schedule of the Savings Banks Bill; whether the members of the Committee are to be remunerated; what is the amount of the proposed remuneration to each; and what is their proposed number?
§ *THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Mr. GOSCHEN,) St. George's, Hanover SquareI hope to be able to give the names at an early date, but my idea is that the first Committee, which should consist of either five or seven persons, should not be remunerated. The members of the subsequent Committee may possibly be remunerated by fees. But as the question of remuneration might preclude Members of the House from serving on the Committee, and it may be desirable to appoint some hon. Members on the Committee, I do not wish, at present, to come to a definite decision on the point.
