§ MR. JOHN KELLYI beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury if he would state in which Government offices the Lower Division Clerks still remain on the six-hour system; and whether those Departments have already submitted, or will be at once invited to submit, schemes for placing those Lower Division Clerks on the seven-hours system, so that all such clerks may, in accordance with the recommendations of the Royal Commission, stand on the same basis?
§ THE SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Mr. JACKSON,) Leeds, N.It is the intention of the Government to apply the seven-hours system to all Departments as opportunity offers.
