HC Deb 02 June 1919 vol 116 cc1674-5
53. Lieut.-Colonel MALONE

asked the Prime Minister whether any alterations in the organisation of the War Cabinet are contemplated in order to meet the changed conditions arising from the reversion from war to peace legislation?

Mr. BONAR LAW

Yes, Sir; but the exact nature of the change cannot be settled until after the return from Paris of the Peace Delegation.

Sir F. LOWE

Is it proposed to continue the government of the country by a War Cabinet after the War is over and Peace is signed?

Mr. BONAR LAW

My answer is, that is not the intention.

Mr. MacVEAGH

Can the right hon. Gentleman say whether the old-fashioned Cabinet is still in existence, and, if so, when it last met?

Mr. BONAR LAW

Of course, it is not in existence. The War Cabinet took its place.
