49. Sir ASSHETON POWNALL

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the substantial contribution the Cabinet intends to make to the cause of economy?

50. Sir N. GRATTAN-DOYLE

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is yet in a position to indicate the extent by which the salaries of Cabinet Ministers are to be reduced?

The FINANCIAL SECRETARY to the TREASURY (Mr. Pethick-Lawrence)

I am not in a position to add to the replies which have previously been given on this subject.

Sir A. POWNALL

Can the hon. Gentleman say what is the reason for this four months' delay, and whether a decision may be expected before the end of this Session?

Mr. PETHICK-LAWRENCE

I am afraid I cannot.

Sir K. WOOD

Can the hon. Gentleman say something about the Law Officers of the Crown?

Sir N. GRATTAN-DOYLE

Cannot the hon. Gentleman—

Mr. SPEAKER

We have already had two supplementary questions on this question.

Sir N. GRATTAN-DOYLE

On a point of Order. Am I not entitled to ask a supplementary question on my own question?

Mr. SPEAKER

There is no rule about that.
