§ SIR GEORGE BADEN-POWELL (Liverpool, Kirkdale)asked the Secretary to the Treasury, Whether the Treasury has hitherto taken any share in that careful revision and amendment of the whole financial system of the Metropolitan Police which the Secretary of State for the Home Department has pointed out that system is now undergoing; and, whether this revision is purely Departmental; and, if so, whether he can state by what official it is being conducted?
§ THE SECRETARY (Mr. JACKSON) (Leeds, N.)said, that the Treasury, on being asked to appoint a Representative on the Committee to consider the question, had done so. It was not a purely Departmental Committee. It was at present sitting; and, therefore, he was not able to give any information as to its proceedings.
