§ Mr. G. Macdonaldasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he has considered a copy of a resolution passed by the urban district council of Ince-in-Makerfield requesting that the question of the making up to the level of civil pay the pay and allowances receivable by all men serving in His Majesty's forces or in full-time Civil Defence should be a first call on the Exchequer; and what action he proposes to take in this connection?
§ Sir J. SimonI have seen a copy of the Resolution mentioned in the question. The Government do not see their way to give effect to the proposal put forward in the Resolution.
