PARTY HONOURS.
COLONEL GIBBS'S STATEMENT. (by cable—press association— copyright.) (australian and n.z. cablb association.) LONDON, November 14. In the House of Commons, Mr E; Thurtle (Labour) raised the question of the sale of Party honours. Colonel G. A. Gibbs, Treasurer of the Eoyal Household, replied that there was not a single word of truth in the statement that the Conservative Party had obtained large sums of money from the disposal of honours. The suggestion was completely false. The Eoyal 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.
