Oral Answers to Questions — Naval and Military Pensions and Grants. – in the House of Commons at on 14 February 1924.
Sir Nicholas Grattan-Doyle
, Newcastle upon Tyne North
asked the Prime Minister whether he is aware that at a conference of the Welsh Independent Labour party held at Cardiff on Saturday, 2nd February, 1924, a resolution was passed urging that the Independent Labour party Members of the House of Commons should prepare a Bill for a national minimum wage of £4 per week; whether he is in favour of this proposal; and, if so, what steps he proposes to take to give effect to it?
Mr John Clynes
, Manchester Platting
I have seen a newspaper report of the resolution in question, but the Government must not be regarded as responsible for expressions of opinion other than its own.
The House of Commons is one of the houses of parliament. Here, elected MPs (elected by the "commons", i.e. the people) debate. In modern times, nearly all power resides in this house. In the commons are 650 MPs, as well as a speaker and three deputy speakers.
