HC Deb 01 April 1926 vol 193 cc2359-60
23. Sir GERALD STRICKLAND

asked the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs whether, seeing that deferred pay, i.e., pensions, as well as travelling allowances, are paid to Australian State Governors from Imperial funds, he will take steps to increase either to a point at which these offices could be held without loss; and whether, before appointment to such offices, candidates are warned of the difference in necessary expenditure since the salaries were fixed?

The SECRETARY OF STATE for DOMINION AFFAIRS (Mr. Amery)

I am afraid I do not see any way to take action in the sense suggested in the first part of my hon. Friend's question. As regards the second part, the fullest available information is given to those concerned.
