§ MR. DONAL SULLIVAN (West-meath, S.)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury whether the representations of the so-called redundant clerks in the Customs that they have suffered undue loss through the narrowing of the chances of promotion in recent years, and through the non-fulfilment of one of the stipulations in Treasury Letters dated 20th March and 12th May, 1880, 352 have been favourably considered; and, if so, whether he can state why the scheme for amelioration has not yet been promulgated?
§ THE SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Mr. JACKSON, Leeds, N.)The decision of the Treasury will very probably be communicated shortly.
