Runay, June 22nd. Mr. William Graham, Labour M.P.. & former Minister, who is Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee, a Parliamentary body which kreps a close watch upon de- partmental expenditure, has put down a motion, on behalf of the Labour Party, asking for an in- quiry into the emoluments and ex- penses attaching to the office of Speaker.

Mr. Graham's view, which is shared by most members of the House, is that the salary of the Speaker, which has remained fixed since 1883 at £5,000 yearly, is now inadequate, in view of the expenses incurred with the post.
