HC Deb 12 February 1924 vol 169 c735
37. Captain TERRELL

asked the Prime Minister whether any Members of the Cabinet are connected in any way with trades union organisation or work; and whether he proposes to apply to them the same rule affecting Cabinet Ministers in respect to directorship of public companies?

The PRIME MINISTER

No, Sir. Cabinet Ministers have already applied to themselves in respect of trades union organisation or work the same rule as is applied in respect to directorship of public companies.

Captain TERRELL

Is there any truth in the rumour that stmt. Members of the Cabinet are being, subsidised by the unions with which they have been hitherto associated?

Mr. SPEAKER

That is a question which I should see before it is allowed to be put.

Mr. D. G. SOMERVILLE

Does that answer also apply to any international organization?
