HC Deb 03 June 1946 vol 423 c1751

Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the Clause stand part of the Bill."

Mr. Derek Walker-Smith (Hertford)

I take this opportunity of raising a point on this Clause. The point I wish to refer to is contained in Subsection (3), which relates to the payment of £500 a year as a Parliamentary salary to junior Ministers of the Crown. Now, we do not in this country make any fetish of logic—

The Chairman

Is it not the hon. Gentleman's purpose to deal with something which is contained in Clause 3?

Mr. Walker-Smith

I beg your pardon. In this murky light I thought it was Subsection (3) of Clause 2.

Clause ordered to stand part of the Bill.
