§ SIR GEORGE BADEN POWELL (Liverpool, Kirkdale)I beg to ask the Secretary of the Treasury whether it has been decided to merge much of the work of the Metropolitan collectors of Inland Revenue in the office of the Receiver General; whether the Receiver General placed before the Royal Commission on Civil Establishments a scheme to effect this object, at a saving of £10,000 per annum; and, whether the Inland Revenue Board suggested an alternative scheme, which involved a saving of only £800 a year; and, whether the former or the latter scheme is the one that is to be put in force?
§ THE SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Mr. JACKSON,) Leeds, N.In reply to my hon. Friend, I have to say that no decision has yet been arrived at.
