§ Sir C. Osborneasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in view of the fact that the continual demand for more wages for less work is causing inflation at home and making it more difficult to sell United Kingdom goods abroad, if he will resist proposals for higher salaries and expenses for Members of Parliament in order that Parliament may set a good example to the nation; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Selwyn LloydI agree that in determining the remuneration of its Members this House should be careful to set a good example to the nation.
With regard to the second part of my hon. Friend's Question, I have no statement to make.
