HC Deb 19 July 1939 vol 350 c395
46. Mr. Hannah

asked the Prime Minister whether he can give an assurance that it is not contemplated that the pensions proposed to be provided for ex- Members of this House who have no other means of livelihood shall involve any additional burdens on the taxpayer?

The Prime Minister

As I explained when moving the Second Reading of the House of Commons Members Fund Bill last week, its provisions will involve no charge upon public funds.
