§ MR. P. WALLACE (Edinburgh, E.)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury whether any, and what, steps have been taken by the Lord Chancellor of England, the Lord President of the Court of Session in Scotland, and the Lord Chancellor in Ireland, in the Departments of the Public Service under their control, to carry out the spirit of Clause 10 of the Order in Council of the 15th of August, 1890, as to the compulsory retirement of officials above the age assigned in that Order as the period of superannuation?
§ SIR J. T. HIBBERTA Bill will be at once introduced giving the necessary powers, as regards England, to the Lord Chancellor and the Treasury. It has been thought desirable to defer legislation affecting Scotland and Ireland until the Bill in question has become law, as the conditions are somewhat different in the three countries.
