HC Deb 10 March 1930 vol 236 c945W
Commander BELLAIRS

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury what is the reason for the increase in the estimated amount provided for in salaries and allowances for Members of the House of Commons?

Mr. PETHICK-LAWRENCE

The increased provision for salaries and allowances of Members of the House of Commons is due to the fact that in the Estimate for 1929 a deduction was made from the normal provision in anticipation of a General Election.
