HC Deb 29 November 1917 vol 99 c2231W
Mr. P. A. HARRIS

asked the Prime Minister on what terms Lord Rothermere has been appointed Secretary of State for Air; whether he is to share with other Ministers joint responsibility for the general policy of the Government; and whether he will continue to act as a director of the various newspapers hitherto under his control or whether, following precedent, he will resign all directorships?

Mr. BONAR LAW

As regards the first part of the question, I would refer the hon. Member to Clause 8, Sub-section (1), of the Air Force Bill. As regards the second part, I am informed that my Noble Friend has resigned all his directorships.
