HC Deb 01 June 1933 vol 278 cc2054-5
33. Mr. TURTON

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury on how many occasions during the present Parliament third-class vouchers have been applied for by hon. Members?

The FINANCIAL SECRETARY to the TREASURY (Mr. Hore-Belisha)

The information desired by my hon. Friend could only be obtained by a detailed examination of all the vouchers used during the present Parliament. The labour involved in such an examination would not, I think, be justified.

Mr. TURTON

Will my hon. Friend consider making the same regulation with regard to Members of Parliament that applies to civil servants in the Army, Navy and Air Force and confining first-class vouchers to Members of Parliament of the rank of Parliamentary Secretary and over?

Viscountess ASTOR

Will the hon. Member ask those hon. Members who apply for first-class vouchers to hold up their hands?
