§ 47. Mr. PETOasked the Prime Minister when he will give facilities for the debate on the question of salaries of Members of Parliament and the Naval and Military pay of Members serving with His Majesty's Forces?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI gather from the discussion which took place on this subject on 11th March that the general opinion of the House is against the suggested deduction from the salary of Members serving in His Majesty's Forces. As it is a question for the House to decide, I think there would be no object in further debate.
§ Mr. PETODoes not the right hon. Gentleman think it desirable to terminate at the earliest possible moment the present position of affairs under which every Member of the House is serving only half-time, and under which many Members of the House are receiving two salaries for one job?
