BRITISH POLITICS.
PAYMENTS OF MEMBERS. United Press Association —By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. (Received May 18, 9.30 a.m.) LONDON, May 17. Bx-ministers receiving political pensions, and ecclesiastical commissioners, will be excluded from the payment to members scheme. Many Liberals favour the payment being withheld from Army Officers and others with pensions, and desire legislation to prevent hopeless candidatures and to prohibit a member handing his salary to charities in that member's own constituency. Many Liberals and Labourites prefer 82300 as the annual payment, but the Nationalist leaders do not desire salaries to be extended to the Irish lest it diminish the former's control. A few Unionists do not follow Mr Austen Chamberlain in believing that payment of salaries will facilitate the working class Unionist entering the House of Commons.
