§ MR. SAUNDERS (Newington, Walworth)I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board the number of hours overtime worked by Second Division Clerks on piecework in the Census Office, and the total amount paid for such work to the end of January last; also the amount paid to Boy Writers for "Ages and Conditions" and "Occupation" piecework; and whether any piecework had been done by Second Division Clerks since the first batch of temporary Census Clerks were dismissed?
§ MR. H. H. FOWLERThis question was only put on the Paper this morning, and I must communicate with the Registrar General upon it. At the same time, I may say that, as I am most anxious that the completion of the Census Report should be expedited as much as possible, I should be very unwilling at the present time to impose on the Census Department the task of compiling additional statistical information.
