§ Mr. E. J. Williamsasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will consider making an appeal to well-to-do persons and pensioners who are doing work in Government Departments to give their services voluntarily where they are able to do so, having regard to the financial burden of the war and the fact that hundreds of thousands of men have to sacrifice all their private interests to serve in the Forces for 2s. a day?
§ Sir J. SimonIn many cases the Government is receiving valued assistance from persons who are serving without remuneration or at nominal salaries, but I do not feel that the circumstances warrant a general appeal of the kind suggested by the hon. Member.
