HC Deb 29 November 1955 vol 546 cc2117-8
45. Major Anstruther-Gray

asked the Prime Minister whether he can now state the result of the Treasury Circular requiring all Departments to review their lists of office holders with reference to their membership of the present House of Commons.

The Prime Minister (Sir Anthony Eden)

Returns from Great Britain and Northern Ireland Departments have now been received and fully examined. The House will, I am sure, be glad to know that no further action is necessary.

Major Anstruther-Gray

May we take it from that reply that no hon. Members of this House are likely to find themselves disqualified from membership unawares?

The Prime Minister

I hope so, Sir.
