§ 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.
