HC Deb 26 April 1926 vol 194 c1653
51. Mr. PENNY

asked the Prime Minister whether he will consider the desirability of making it compulsory for everyone holding a position where the salary is paid jointly or severally by the Government and local authorities to take a similar oath of allegiance to that taken by Members of this House?

Mr. AMERY

The Prime Minister is not prepared to adopt the suggestion of my hon. Friend.

Mr. PENNY

Will my right hon. Friend keep in mind that all loyal citizens will consider it an honour to take the oath of allegiance?

Mr. AMERY

Certainly.
