HC Deb 06 August 1918 vol 109 c1125W
Sir R. COOPER

asked the Prime Minister whether the principle that no Member of this House shall hold a position of trust and responsibility in any State Department which has dealings with any business in which the Member has any direct or indirect financial interest has been ignored in many cases during the War; and, if so, does he intend to take steps at the conclusion of the War to re-establish the principle?

Mr. BONAR LAW

I am not aware that the general principle stated in this question has been ignored.
