Members of the Ministry 
SINCE Mr. Lloyd George became Prime Minister, the Cabinet has been greatly reduced and Ministers largely 
increased. At the moment Ministers of State number 34 ; Under-Secretaries, Parliamentary Secretaries and others 
holding positions in the Administration, though not all paid, 51, or in all 85. This is greatlj' in excess of the 
normal, and as every day new appointments are made, the figures must not be accepted as final. Th^ Chancellor 
of the Exchequer has stated in the House that the salaries paid to the 34 Ministers amount to ;^I33,500. Of course, 
these figures do not include Private Secretaries who more than double the number and are persons of importance. 
Then, of course, there are Committees, some appointed to assist and advise particular Departments ; others to 
investigate or enquire into particular policies, acts or questions. Neyer in the history of the country has 
the personnel of the Government reached this strength, if numbers indeed be strength, not weakness;
