HC Deb 12 March 1940 vol 358 c1014W
Mr. Emery

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he would consider the advisability of forming a branch of the National Savings Committee for Members of Parliament?

Sir J. Simon

The formation of a voluntary National Savings group among Members of Parliament is, I think, a matter which should be left to the initiative of private Members. If my hon. Friend, or any other hon. Member, is prepared to undertake the work of forming such a group, I am sure that the National Savings Committee will be most ready to give him all possible assistance in doing so.
