HALLasked the Prime Minister if he will give facilities for the introduction and passage of a Bill with the object of preventing Members of the Government in receipt of a salary speculating in stocks and shares, provided that they shall not be thereby precluded from investing in shares which they take up and pay for at the time of the investment and which are not purchased to be carried over in the expectation of a speculative profit?
