HC Deb 27 March 1879 vol 244 c1850
MR. RITCHIE

asked the Secretary to the Treasury, If he is now in a position to state whether the scheme for the re-organization of the Customs has been finally settled, and when it will come into operation?

SIR HENEY SELWIN-IBBETSON

In answer to my hon. Friend the Member for the Tower Hamlets, I am happy to be able to say that the principle of the scheme has been already decided upon; but there are certain details which will require a short time before they can be finally settled.

MR. RITCHIE

I beg to give Notice that I shall repeat this Question on this day week.
