HC Deb 26 June 1939 vol 349 cc23-4
47. Sir A. Pownall

asked the Prime Minister whether it is the intention of the Government during the present Session to implement the Resolution of the House of 2nd February in favour of legislation to establish a pensions fund for Members of this House?

The Prime Minister

My hon. and gallant Friend will be aware that the Parliamentary programme is very congested, but I hope that it will be possible to deal with the Members' Pensions Bill this Session.

Sir A. Pownall

Will it not be possible to present the Bill in the near future, in order that hon. Members may have a chance to study its provisions?

The Prime Minister

Yes, Sir. I think I might be able to do that.

Lieut.-Colonel Acland-Troyte

Have we not enough to do in this Session already?
