HONOURS ARE NOT SOLD
SUGGESTION COMPLETELY FALSE. By Telegraph—Press Assn. —Copyright. Received Nov. 15, 7.30 p.m. London, Nov. 14. In the House of Commons, Mr. Thurtle raised the question of the sale of party honours. Colonel Gibbs, Treasurer of the Royal household, replied that there was no single word of truth in the statement that the Conservative Party obtained large sums of money from the disposal of honours. The suggestion was completely false. The Royal Commission of 1922 recommended that a committee should be constituted to investigate the bestowal of honours, and that system had been continued by successive Governments ever since.
