HC Deb 17 February 1931 vol 248 c1062
55. Mr. MCSHANE

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in regard to payment of Members of this House, he will introduce a means test similar to that proposed for working-class people in the Education Bill?

Mr. P. SNOWDEN

Such a question would appropriately be left to the judgment of this House.

Mr. MCSHANE

Would not this give hon. and right hon. Members opposite an excellent opportunity of proving their sincerity?

Mr. ERNEST BROWN

Why "opposite"?
