HC Deb 25 September 1931 vol 256 c1967W
Mr. R. MORRISON

asked the Prime Minister whether all the members of the Government who hold offices as directors of companies have now resigned these positions?

The PRIME MINISTER

The effect of the rule which has obtained during previous administrations will be observed, though for the time being, having regard to the exceptional circumstances under which this administration holds office, I should not be disposed to insist on the literal application of the rule. In the meantime no fees will be accepted, and no time given to companies barred by the rule.
