HC Deb 12 March 1923 vol 161 c1035
63. Mr. NEWBOLD

asked the Prime Minister whether he will introduce legislation to forbid, under the severest penalties, any ex-Minister or high-placed Government servant accepting employment with any firm of contractors to His Majesty's Government for a period of five years after his retirement?

The PRIME MINISTER

As stated in my reply to my hon. Friend the Member for Frome on the 4th December last, I am not prepared to adopt this suggestion.
