HC Deb 23 April 1931 vol 251 c1149
54. Mr. O. LEWIS

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether, seeing that the allowances of Members of Parliament in Northern Ireland have been reduced from £200 to £170 per annum, and with the object of setting an example of economy, he will lay proposals before this House for some similar reduction in the salaries of Members of Parliament?

Mr. PETHICK-LAWRENCE

The hon. Member's suggestion, in common with all other proposals for reduction of expenditure, will be conveyed to my right hon. Friend for his consideration.
