HC Deb 16 March 1937 vol 321 cc1875-7W
Mr. Shinwell

asked the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs whether he can state the salaries and allowances provided for Members of Parliament in the Dominions of Canada and Australia?

Mr. M. MacDonald

I have obtained particulars, so far as they are available here, from the various oversea representatives in London.

report of the Mui-tsai Commission; and if he can give the House any information on this matter?

Mr. Ormsby-Gore

Copies of the report did not reach the Governments of Hong Kong and Malaya until the end of February. I have asked the two Governments to let me have their full views on both the majority and minority reports. But in view of the obvious complexity of the problems raised I expect it will be some little time before I can reasonably expect to receive considered replies.
