§ 57. Mr. LYNCHasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will set on foot an inquiry and, as a result of that inquiry, furnish the House with a list of well-paid sinecures or offices in which the emoluments are out of proportion to the degree of difficulty of the duties; and whether he will, on this basis, point out to the War Cabinet a source of important economies?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWThe answer is in the negative.
