§ MR. TULLY (Leitrim, S.)I beg to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether it is true that the Commissioners of Inland Revenue have recently declined to entertain applications of removal to Ireland made; by officers of Inland Revenue stationed in England; and, if this is so, what is the rule on the subject?
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Sir W. HARCOURT,) DerbyThe general rule is that officers are allowed to serve on stations for which they apply. The Board of Inland Revenue, however, reserve to themselves an absolute discretion to refuse or postpone such applications, in the interests of the Public Service.
