§ VISCOUNT WOLMER (Edinburgh, W.)I bog to ask the Secretary for Scotland whether his attention has been drawn to the fact that the work of the staff of the Commissary Office in Edinburgh is analogous to that performed in the Probate Offices in London and Dublin, and that the staff of both those offices is on the establishment of the Civil Service, while that of the Commissary Office is not; and whether ho will order an inquiry to be held on the office and establishment of the Commissary Office similar to that lately held on the office of the Register of Deeds?
§ THE SECRETARY FOR SCOTLAND (Sir G. TREVELYAN,) Glasgow, BridgetonI have been inquiring into the relative organisations of the Commissary Office as compared with the Probate Offices in London and Dublin, and into the relative position and salaries of the clerks attached thereto, and I am still in communication with the Treasury on the subject.
