§ 64. Mr. MARRIOTTasked the Prime Minister whether there was in being a Cabinet other than the Imperial War Cabinet; and, if so, whether he would state the names of those who composed it?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWI would refer my hon. Friend to the answer which I gave to my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for Yeovil on Monday, 14th July.
§ Mr. MARRIOTTI have referred to that answer, but I am asking now whether there is in being any Cabinet other than the Imperial War Cabinet, and, if so, whether we may have the names of that other Cabinet?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWThere is no other Cabinet except the one whose names I gave in the answer to which I have referred my hon. Friend.
§ Mr. MARRIOTTMay I ask whether there are any Cabinet Ministers who are not members of the Cabinet?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWThat is a question I would expect to come from a member of another nationality.
§ Mr. MARRIOTTMay I have an answer to it, to whatever nationality I belong?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWIt is obvious that if there is a Cabinet and there are Ministers who are members of it, they are the only Cabinet Ministers for the time being.
