HC Deb 17 February 1920 vol 125 cc702-3
48. Sir MONTAGUE BARLOW

asked the Lord Privy Seal whether he can give an opportunity at an early date for the discussion of the Second Report of the Select Committee on Pensions?

Mr. BONAR LAW

I am afraid that it will be difficult to find time for this discussion in the immediate future. Perhaps it may be chosen for consideration in private Members' time.

Sir M. BARLOW

If a sufficient number of the Members of the House express a desire that this Report should be discussed, will the Leader of the House give further consideration to the matter?

Mr. BONAR LAW

I am inclined to think that an opportunity for a discussion is desirable, but I do not see how it can be done in the immediate future.

Mr. HOGGE

In the meantime, are the Government going to pay out on the suggestions of the Committee?

Mr. BONAR LAW

I must ask for notice of that question.
