HC Deb 23 February 1914 vol 58 cc1398-9
47. Mr. JAMES HOPE

asked the Prime Minister whether he is prepared to give a day for the Motion whereby it may be made clear how many Members of the House are prepared to vote for the discontinuance of their own salaries?

The PRIME MINISTER

No, Sir.

Mr. JAMES HOPE

Will the right hon. Gentleman take care that this Vote by ourselves to ourselves will come on one day under circumstances which will ensure it shall be discussed?

The PRIME MINISTER

I am prepared to take the feeling of the House as to that.

Mr. WATT

Is it a fact that Members who do not wish to take salaries can bring it about by not presenting the warrant to the Treasury?
