HC Deb 10 March 1884 vol 285 c1020
MR. ARTHUR O'CONNOR

asked the Secretary to the Admiralty, Whether it is in contemplation to abolish or modify the remainder or any portion of the Upper Division Class at the Admiralty?

MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN

Sir, I am somewhat at a loss to understand the meaning of the hon. Member's Question; but I may say that there is no intention to reduce the total number of higher division clerks in the Admiralty Departments.
