§ MR. ROYDEN (Liverpool, W., Toxteth)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury if it is intended that the provisions of the Treasury Order, dated 10th August, 1889, which gave effect to the recommendations of the Ridley Commission, and which are now under the consideration of the Treasury, on their application to the clerks of the Customs in London, will also be applied to the clerical staff of the Customs at Liverpool; and, if so, whether the Treasury will apply the same treatment to clerks of the present staff at both places whose positions are analogous?
§ THE SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Mr. JACKSON,) Leeds, N.I must ask the hon. Gentleman to defer this question until the House meets on the Monday after the holidays.
