§ 45. Mr. Shinwellasked the Prime Minister whether he has any further statement to make as to the duties imposed on Lord Hankey as a Member of the War Cabinet; whether he has any special functions; and whether he is associated with the work of any particular Ministry?
§ The Prime Minister (Mr. Chamberlain)No, Sir. The duties of my right hon. and Noble Friend were outlined by the Financial Secretary to the Treasury in the course of the Debate on 7th February last, and I have nothing to add to that statement.
§ Mr. ShinwellIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that I put down this Question because of the speech delivered by his Noble Friend in another place the other day? Has the right hon. Gentleman read that speech? If he has, does he not regard it as rather disquieting?
§ The Prime MinisterNo, Sir.
§ Mr. ShinwellWill he take a little time and look at the speech, and analyse it, and tell us what he thinks about it?
