HC Deb 15 March 1915 vol 70 c1745
55. Mr. HUNT

asked the Prime Minister whether it is intended during the War to allow Members of the House of Commons now serving in the Army or Navy their full military or naval pay as well as the £400 a year House of Commons salary?

The PRIME MINISTER

Both House of Commons salary and military pay will be issued in full until the House has had the opportunity of giving the matter further consideration.

Mr. HUNT

Do I understand that it is contemplated that Members not serving in the Army or Navy, although not obliged to attend this House, will receive their £400 a year, and that men who are risking their lives are to have their pay reduced?

Mr. SPEAKER

That is in the nature of an argument.
