Mr. G. J. WARDLE.

HC Deb 09 June 1920 vol 130 cc399-400

48. Mr. WHITE

asked the Prime Minister on what date the resignation of Mr. G. J. Wardle, the late Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Labour, took effect; what salaries or fees were paid to him from the commencement of the financial year, 1919–20, to the date of his resignation; and whether he now holds any salaried office under the Government?

Mr. BONAR LAW

The resignation took effect on the 9th March, 1920, and the amount paid in respect of salary from the commencement of the financial year, 1919–20, to the date of resignation was £1,153 16s. 11d. The answer to the last part of the question is in the negative.

Mr. WHITE

Has Mr. Wardle now recovered sufficiently from his sudden illness to take up the position promised him?

Mr. SPEAKER

The hon. Member had better give notice of that question.

Mr. WHITE

I did, and it was taken out.

Mr. SPEAKER

If that be so the hon. Member should not put it again.
