HC Deb 14 July 1884 vol 290 c918
MR. SIDNEY HERBERT

asked the Secretary to the Treasury, When the Report of the Registrar of Friendly Societies for the year 1883 will be circulated; and, whether he can take any steps to insure the earlier publication of these Reports?

MR. COURTNEY

The Report will be laid on the Table before the Prorogation; but as the Returns upon which it is based are only due on the 1st of June, and a large number of them are always in arrear, it is impossible to expedite materially the publication of the Report and Appendix.
