§ MR. BRADLAUGH (Northampton)I beg to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether any and what steps have been taken to give effect to the Treasury Minute, July, 1888, relating to Perpetual Pensions?
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Mr. GOSCHEN,) St. George's, Hanover SquareThe work of the Treasury has been too great to allow me to give to each case the full attention which I consider the matter deserves. I will, of course, deal with the matter now that I have more leisure, and will consider it in the Recess.
§ MR. BRADLAUGHMay I take it for granted that during the Recess the matter will be investigated?
§ MR. GOSCHENNo time will be lost in looking into the whole question.
