§ MR. RITCHIEasked the Secretary to the Treasury, When the scheme for the re-organisation of the Customs Department, which has for some time been under consideration, will come into operation?
§ SIR HENRY SELWIN-IBBETSON, in reply, said, he was sorry he was not in a position to state when the promised scheme would come into force. The matter was still under consideration, and he expected that the basis of the new scheme would be submitted to the Treasury in the course of the next two or three days. No time would be lost, when that scheme had been received, in coming to a conclusion upon it; and he (Sir Henry Selwin-Ibbetson) hoped before very long to be able to give a more satisfactory answer to the hon. Member's Question.
