HC Deb 21 February 1940 vol 357 cc1344-5
53. Mr. Mander

asked the Minister of Supply whether he will consider the advisability, in view of temptations created by war-time conditions in a new Ministry, of bringing to the attention of the employés in his Department the pro visions of the Prevention of Corruption Acts inflicting penalties for receipt of bribes and secret commissions?

Mr. Burgin

Yes, Sir.

Mr. Mander

Will my right hon. Friend at the same time make it clear that no reflection whatever is intended on the probity and devotion to duty of the great mass of the Civil Service?

Mr. Burgin

Yes, Sir.
