HC Deb 27 November 1916 vol 88 cc32-3
62. Mr. SCANLAN

asked the Prime Minister whether it is the intention of the Government to appoint a Parliamentary Secretary to the office of the Board of Pensions proposed to be set up by a Bill now under the consideration of this House; and, if so, will he explain why such an appointment should be made so long as the head of the Board is a Member of this House?

The PRIME MINISTER

The answer is in the affirmative, and for the reason given by my right hon. Friend in speaking on the Financial Resolution on Thursday last.
