HC Deb 11 April 1892 vol 3 cc1224-5

Moved for— Return of Permanent Civil Servants whose tenure of office has been prolonged beyond the age of 65 years, under the discretionary power vested in the Treasury by Clause 10 of the Order in Council of the 15th day of August, 1890, together with the reasons of such prolongation in each case."—(Sir J. Gorst.)

MR. T. M. HEALY

This, I presume, is the Return granted at my request. I do not know whether it fulfils the intention of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and I think it is inconvenient that the Return should be moved, we not seeing the terms of it upon the Paper. It is not possible to follow the terms exactly when we hear them read out for the first time.

THE SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Sir J. GORST,) Chatham

If the hon. Member wishes, I shall be very happy to put it down for the first day after the Recess.

MR. T. M. HEALY

Oh, but I want it. I do not object, but I complain that the terms were not put on the Paper to-day.

Return ordered—

Copy presented accordingly; to lie upon the Table, and to be printed. [No. 141.]
