§ SIR HENRY PEEKasked the Secretary to the Treasury, Whether the Report of the Committee on Official Statistics had been referred to the Commissioners of Her Majesty's Customs; and, whether they had made a reply; and, if they had done so, whether there would be any objection to lay that reply, with the evidence taken by the Committee, upon the Table of the House?
§ SIR HENRY SELWIN-IBBETSON, in reply, said, that the Report had been referred to the Commissioners of Her Majesty's Customs, and that when the latter had made their reply he should have no objection to lay that, together with other Papers on the subject, upon the Table; but that there would be no necessity for laying the whole of the evidence on which the Report was founded upon the Table.
