§ 61. Mr. J. HENDERSONasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer when the information promised by him as to subsistence money paid to Members will be circulated?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWI find that it is not possible to state the amounts which are being paid at any given moment or the names of the recipients, as payments necessarily vary continually. The total amount involved is, however, small. It has always been the practice for Members of Parliament absent from home on work for Government Departments to receive subsistence allowance at the usual rates to meet the out-of-pocket expenses caused by such work.
