HC Deb 04 August 1890 vol 347 c1758
MR. BRADLAUGH

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury whether he will lay upon the Table a Copy of the General Order of Customs, No. 67, 1890, and the correspondence between the Treasury and the Commissioners of Customs relating to the case of Messrs. Heath and Smith, two officers of Customs, recently punished for communicating with the private secretary of the Chancellor of the Exchequer on the subject of promotion in the Department?

* MR. GOSCHEN

I will lay Papers on the Table; but I may point out at once that the officers were, of course, not punished for communicating with my private secretary. What their offence was will appear from the Papers.

MR. BRADLAUGH

When will the Papers be presented?

* MR. GOSCHEN

In a few days.
