HC Deb 05 April 1887 vol 313 c490
MR. PULESTON (Devonport)

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether it is proposed by the Royal Commission on the Civil Service to make a preliminary Report, embodying the views of the Commission on the clerical establishment; and, if so, whether it is now possible to give some indication of the time when such a Report may be expected?

THE SECRETARY OF STATE (Mr. MATTHEWS) (Birmingham, E.)

I understand that it is not the intention of the Civil Establishments Commission to pre-sent a preliminary Report on the whole of the clerical establishments in the Civil Service. They propose, however, as I understand, to present a Report on the War Office and Admiralty, if possible, in the course of this summer.
