§ MR. HOLLONDasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury, When the new Post Office Annuities and Insurance Tables, authorised by the Act of last Session, will be ready; and, whether, in view of the fact that these tables must be laid upon the Table of the House thirty days before they come into operation, he can give the House an assurance that they will be presented in sufficient time to be approved during the present Session, and thus avoid another year's delay in bringing the Act into operation?
§ MR. COURTNEYSir, I have agreed with my right hon. Friend the Postmaster General, that the two sets of tables should be issued together. The Actuarial Reports on which the annuity tables must be founded are still under review; and, though the work will be pressed forward, I do not think I could give the assurance for which my hon. Friend asks.
