§ MR. KELLY (Camberwell, North)I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether he is now in a position to name the date at which the Bill and Treasury Minute relating to the Reports of the Royal Commission on Civil Establishments, which were promised on the 7th of last month to be laid upon the Table shortly, will be submitted to the House for consideration?
§ *MR. W. H. SMITHI regret I am not yet in a position to name the exact date at which the Bill and Treasury Minute relating to the reports of the Civil Establishments Commission will be submitted to the House for consideration. The questions raised in the Reports are so important as to require much time for consideration; but no unnecessary delay shall take place in dealing with them.
