§ Mr. WILLIAM PEELasked the Prime Minister whether proposed wages for Members of Parliament are to be placed on the Consolidated Fund or provided by annual Estimates; and, if so, under what class of the Civil Service Estimates will they be presented to the House?
§ The PRIME MINISTERIt would be premature, at this stage, to give the information for which the hon. Member asks.
§ Mr. PEELWill the right hon. Gentleman consider the question of the advisability of allowing those charges to be placed on the Estimates so that hon. Members may have the opportunity of criticising each other's services?
§ The PRIME MINISTERThat shall be borne in mind.
§ Mr. CROOKSWill the right hon. Gentleman arrange to give us a bit on account for the holidays?
§ Major ARCHER-SHEEMay I ask if there will be any deductions for non-attendance?
§ Mr. LANSBURYWill there be any overtime for all-night sittings?
