§ 53. Mr. PETOasked the Prime Minister whether, in view of the fact that the present House of Commons was elected after proposals had been placed before the constituencies by the Liberal party to pay salaries to Members and to limit the duration of this paid Parliament to five years, he intends to continue the payment of Members after the expiration of the term for which the present House of Commons was elected?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI do not contemplate proposing any change in this matter.
