§ SIR JULIAN GOLDSMID (St. Pancras, N.)asked Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, Whether his attention has been called to a petition from the Civil Service Writers, which was presented to the Treasury about twelve months ago, and upon which a Departmental Committee was appointed to report; and, whether he can inform the House when that Report will be made, and when a determination may be arrived at upon a claim which was stated by the last Secretary to the Treasury to be a good one?
§ THE SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Mr. JACKSON) (Leeds, N.)(who replied) said, that the Departmental Committee had made such progress in its labours that it expected to be able to make its Report at an early date.
