HC Deb 02 June 1892 vol 5 cc459-60
SIR JAMES BAINfor Mr. KELLY (Camberwell, N.)

I beg to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will state the reasons which have actuated the Treasury and the Board of Inland Revenue in withholding the full benefits of the salary scale, laid down in the General Order of 2nd September, 1890, from the Assistants of Excise serving in that Department on that date?

*THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Mr. GOSCHEN,) St. George's, Hanover Square

The Treasury have not done what the hon. Member suggests they have done. Consequently I cannot give reasons for doing that which we have not done.
