§ SIR HENRY WILLOUGHBYsaid, he would beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury whether he can inform the House, or place a document on the Table to show what number of Persons in the Civil Service, whether their remuneration be computed by day pay, weekly wages, or annual salary, will be entitled to superanuation allowance, and at what amount of charge to the public, under Clause 2 of the Superanuation Bill?
§ SIR STAFFORD NORTHCOTEsaid, he thought it almost impossible to give the Return asked for by the hon. Baronet, for it would not only require a great deal of time, but the consideration of questions to be settled hereafter. On going into Committe on the Bill he would endeavour to give the House some general information as to the number of persons likely to come under its provisions.
§ MR. RICHsaid, he thought it would be convenient if the hon. Baronet, the Secretary to the Treasury, would undertake not to move the Committee after ten o'clock the following night.
§ SIR STAFFORD NORTHCOTEintimated his intention not to proceed with the Bill after that hour.
