§ MR. BIGGARasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury, "Whether, considering that there are at present several vacant clerkships in second class of the Sasine Office, Edinburgh, it is intended now to reward those officers who were instrumental in detecting the recent frauds in that office by promotion to those vacant clerkships, without regard to seniority, as promised in Treasury Minute of December 1882?
§ MR. COURTNEYThe hon. Member appears to have been misinformed as to the existence of vacancies in this Office; but I can assure him that we quite sympathize in the spirit of his Question, and intend at the proper time to carry out the views expressed in 1882.
