§ 58. Mr. C. WHITEasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many Members of Parliament are now refusing to accept their salaries as Members of Parliament; and what constituencies they represent.
§ Mr. BALDWINThere are at the present time seven such Members who decline to accept their salaries as Members of Parliament; as regards the last part of the question I am not in a position to furnish any information, as any volun- 1999 tary surrender of salary on the part of a Member is naturally of a private and personal nature.
