HC Deb 21 November 1916 vol 87 c1214
85. Mr. BILLING

asked the Prime Minister whether, in view of the recent criticisms on the Members of this House in connection with Government contracts, he will see fit to introduce some legislative measure making it obligatory upon all candidates for Parliament to make a statutory declaration as to the shareholdings of themselves or their nominees in all British and foreign private and public companies?

The PRIME MINISTER

No, Sir; I see no necessity to adopt this suggestion.
