§ MR. THEOBALD (Essex, Romford)I beg to ask the Secretary to the 340 Treasury whether an application has been received by the Treasury to give a separate classification to the Controller's Office in the Central Telegraph Office; and whether, before giving their sanction to that application, the Lords Commissioners will ascertain what effect it wall have upon promotion in the Central Telegraph Office, the stagnation of which at the present moment is wholly unprecedented?
§ SIR J. T. HIBBERTNo, Sir; no such application is before the Treasury.
