§ 45. Major Anstruther-Grayasked the Prime Minister the result of the Treasury Circular requiring all Departments to review their lists of office holders, with reference to the membership of the present House of Commons.
§ The Prime MinisterReturns are in from all the Great Britain Departments and examination of them is nearly complete. It was thought advisable to extend the inquiry to the Northern Ireland Departments and the returns from Northern Ireland are not yet in. When all the returns have been fully examined a statement will be made if any action by the House is found to be necessary.
