HC Deb 19 July 1889 vol 338 cc841-2
MR. SPENCER BALFOUR (Burnley)

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury when the evidence laid before the Royal Commissioners on Civil Establishments, to which the Commissioners refer in their third Report, will be published; and whether further changes in the Inland Revenue Department will be postponed until such evidence has been submitted to Parliament?

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

I understand that the evidence in question will be laid upon the Table in a day or two. The only alterations that I am aware of as now in progress at Somerset House are those referred to in the question of the hon. Member for North-West Lanark to which my right hon. Friend, the First Lord of the Treasury, is about to reply.
