§ MR. KENDALLsaid, he would beg to ask the Chairman of the Civil Service Superannuation Committee (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) whether he could inform the House when the Report of the Committee would be laid upon the table, and what had been the cause of the delay?
THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUERsaid, the Civil Service Committee had completed the evidence on the principal branch of the inquiry, and had decided before proceeding with any more evidence or coming to a conclusion, to refer the evidence to actuaries, to give an opinion as to a question of calculation by which they thought their judgment would be guided. The report of the actuaries had not yet been received, and therefore the Committee were not at present in a condition to pursue their inquiry.
