HC Deb 03 February 1893 vol 8 c390
SIR GEORGE BADEN-POWELL (Liverpool, Kirkdale)

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury whether any decision has yet been arrived at by the Lords Commissioners of Her Majesty's Treasury, with reference to the memorials of Examining Officers of the Customs on the question of their seniority in the Department; and, if so, whether he will indicate the nature of the decision?

*SIR J. T. HIBBERT

This question was inquired into and reported on by a Departmental Committee, and regulations were framed by the Commissioners of Customs in accordance with the Committee's recommendations. The Treasury has not seen its way to devise any different solution, or to modify the arrangements made. It would be difficult to describe within t he limits of an answer to a question the arrangements made, but if the hon. Member desires information as to any details, I shall be very glad to communicate with him.
