HC Deb 07 May 1895 vol 33 c640
SIR A. ACLAND-HOOD

I beg to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, when it is intended to bring in a Bill to carry out the Resolution of the House of 22nd March that a reasonable allowance should forthwith be granted to all Members of Parliament?

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER

I can understand the impatience of the hon. Member, but I am afraid I cannot satisfy him at present.

SIR A. ACLAND-HOOD

Does the right hon. Gentleman really mean to do nothing to relieve the distress of Members engaged in ploughing the sands?
