HC Deb 01 March 1888 vol 322 c1830
MR. TUITE (Westmeath, N.)

asked the Secretary to the Treasury, What is the cause of the delay in carrying out the recommendations contained in the Report of the Committee of Inquiry into the Statistical Department of the Customs; and, whether, in the retirements which may be necessary in carrying out the recommendations of that Report, the same Rule will be applied as laid down by the Treasury for the recent changes in the Inland Revenue?

THE SECRETARY (Mr. JACKSON) (Leeds, N.)

The Report to which the hon. Member refers is a confidential document, and I do not know how he became possessed of it. I am certainly not in a position to make any statement with regard to it.
