HC Deb 24 February 1882 vol 266 c1524
MR. ARTHUR O'CONNOR

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury, In what manner the Government propose to provide for clerks in the Customs, disestablished by the proposed changes, who are not sufficiently robust to accept employment in the Out-door Department?

LORD FREDERICK CAVENDISH

Sir, as I have already stated in answer to a Question by my hon. Friend the Member for Finsbury (Mr. Torrens), we hope to be able to provide appropriate situations for the great majority of the clerks affected by the proposed changes in the warehousing regulations. The Superannuation Act of 1859, which provides for addition to pensions in cases of abolition of office, will enable the Treasury to give special terms of retirement to those who cannot be provided for in this manner.
