HC Deb 09 August 1916 vol 85 cc1056-7
51. Mr. HODGE

asked the Prime Minister whether any objection is taken to a Civil servant being an official representative of a Civil Service guild, which exists solely for obtaining discounts from traders for Civil servants, active and retired, and their widows?

The PRIME MINISTER

No objection would be taken if, in the opinion of the head of the Department, participation in the business of the guild would be consistent with the proper performance of the officer's official duties.
