§ 66. Mr. Palmerasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether his attention has been drawn to the address of the official speaker at the City Savings Rally held on 27th October last; and if, in view of the essential all-party character of the National Savings Movement, he will take steps to ensure that partisan remarks on such occasions are not made.
§ Sir S. CrippsYes. I am satisfied that the National Savings Committee take the greatest care to avoid the making of partisan statements in connection with the activities of their movement. I regret that any speech should have been made on the occasion referred to which was open to interpretation as being contrary to this principle.
