47. Major WOODasked the Prime Minister whether he has any statement to make regarding cases, to which his attention has been drawn, where speeches on current politics have been made by ex-Governors immediately after their retirement from office; and whether he will consider the advisability, in making future appointments to Governorships, of prescribing that an interval should elapse between a Governor's retirement and his re-engaging in party politics?
§ Mr. P. SNOWDENMy right hon. Friend's attention has not been drawn to any action of this kind by any ex-Governor.
