§ MR. TUITE (Westmeath, N.)I beg to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether it is the intention of the Government to issue an Order in Council to give effect to Clause 29 of the Treasury Minute of the 10th August, 1889, which recommends the creation of a class of "special employés of an order lower than the Second Division," or "persons of the class of Statistical Abstracters;" and, if so, whether he can state when such Order in Council will 1817 probably be promulgated; and whether it is contemplated to promote meritorious writers of long service to the class referred to?
§ *MR. GOSCHENThe Treasury do not consider it necessary to issue an Order in Council creating a general class of employés of an order lower than the Second Division. If the Head of a Department considers that a part of the work of his Department ought to be done by such a class of employés, the Treasury will consider the point with him. The question, therefore, as to the promotion of copyists into such a class has not arisen.
