HC Deb 08 March 1861 vol 161 c1629
MR. ADDERLEY

said, he wished to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, Whether the recommendations contained in the Report of the Committee of last Session on Miscellaneous Expenditure are being attended to in the present preparation of Civil Service Estimates, especially the abolition of the Miscellaneous Number 7, and the statement in the Estimates of unexpended balances; and the preparation of Estimates for new works under Number 1?

MR. PEEL

said, that the recommendations contained in the Report of the Committee of last Session on Miscellaneous Expenditure had been attended to, but the Committee did not recommend the abolition of the Miscellaneous No. 7 contained in the Estimates, though as many of the Votes as could be conveniently transferred would be placed under other heads of expenditure.
