The evidence given before the the Opposition for the time being Committee which inquired into the i should not receive a salary, and for question of Minister's salaries was that the Leader of the Opposition this reason.

Mr. Ramsay MacDonald was of opinion that Cabinets should not be smaller than eighteen owing to the tremendous amount of work to be done. He was against every mem ber of the Cabinet receiving £5,000, "I am opposed to the pooling of salaries was Mr. Alas Doust's reply to a question. "I think it is very unfair oven if you excludo certain Ministers."

Party Squabbles.

With regard to the question of the payment of the Leader of the Opposition Mr. MacDonald said:- I think more and more a-Prime Minister who has perhaps got tired

"One thing that always disturbed me," said Mr. Baldwin, was the

Expensive "No 10." position of Prime Minister who, With regard to residence at having been Prime Minister, found Downing Street, Mr. Baldwin said himself leading an Opposition with that if a man ind no private no means.

A Delicate Question.

"I did discuss this matter with Mr. MacDonald once, Of course, we discussed it in privacy, and it was rather a delicate matter for both of us to discuss. I think both of us would have been reluctant to bring it up. But, it is a real case, on the whole, my personal view is that I am rather opposed, as I think. Mr. Asquith was, to a pen sion for the Prime Minister. But I do think it is worth serious con- sideration whether the Leader of

Mr. Lloyd fieorge

agreed that the pay of the various Ministries should be equalised, but would exelude the Prime Minister from that arrange- ment, and possibly the Lord Chan cellor.

like Lord Chancellor, -You get full value out of your Lord Chan cellor's pension if he does his duty. An ex-Prime Minister might con- tinue his public service in the form of Leader of the Opposition, or he might be asked by the in-coming Government not to do that but to do something else. I do not think that

we have yet explored that possibility nearly enough"
