HC Deb 26 February 1931 vol 248 cc2279-80
80. Mr. BRACKEN

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he can give the House a list of the economies he has effected in the staff and salaries of the Civil Service during the past 12 months; and will he supply particulars of all the major economies which he has been able to make in public expenditure during the same period?

Mr. P. SNOWDEN

I would refer the hon. Member to the answer given on 27th November last in reply to the hon. Member for North Newcastle (Sir N. Grattan-Doyle).

Mr. BRACKEN

Am I to understand that no economy has been effected since last September?

Mr. McSHANE

Will this list include also those Members on the opposite side of the House who voted for third-class fares?
