HC Deb 27 June 1917 vol 95 c376
55. Mr. P. A. HARRIS

asked the Prime Minister whether the rule that members of His Majesty's Government shall not hold directorships in public limited companies is still in force?

Mr. BONAR LAW

The answer is in the affirmative.

Mr. WATT

Does the same rule hold good in the case of highly-placed officials?

Mr. BILLING

Are we to understand that Members can continue to vote public money into their own pockets so long as-they can put M.P. after their names?
