HC Deb 26 February 1917 vol 90 c1680
54. Mr. LYNCH

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the rarity of the occasions on which the Prime Minister is in attendance in the House, he can give assurances that any statement made by him as Leader of the House engages, without reservation, the responsibility of the Government?

Mr. BONAR LAW

The answer is in the affirmative.
