HC Deb 13 December 1949 vol 470 cc2505-6
46. Mr. Erroll

asked the Prime Minister if the rule laid down by Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman in 1906 and reaffirmed on 16th May, 1939, relating to the holding of directorships in private companies by Members of the Government is still in force.

The Prime Minister

Yes, Sir.

Mr. Erroll

May we take it that the recent statement by the Under-Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations has in no way altered the position?

The Prime Minister

Certainly. It was in entire conformity.
