HC Deb 18 July 1939 vol 350 cc188-9
61. Mr. De la Bère

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether some additional provision for hon. Members of this House will be made at St. Margaret's Church, Westminster, in view of the provision which is being made for members of the Order of the British Empire?

Captain Crookshank

I am assured that the provision for hon. Members would not in practice be rendered inadequate by the adoption of the scheme how being considered.

Mr. De la Bère

Will the right hon. and gallant Gentleman bear in mind the fact that the feelings of hon. Members in many parts of the House have been somewhat hurt by the unhappy way in which this matter has been handled?

Captain Crookshank

It has nothing to do with me. Neither I nor any other Member of the Government is in the least concerned in this.

Mr. De la Bère

Will the right hon. and gallant Gentleman ask the appropriate authorities to take note of the fact to which I have drawn attention?
