HC Deb 02 August 1894 vol 27 c1582
MR. JACKSON

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury when the Return of Building Societies, moved for on 11th January, will be circulated to Members?

THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. GEORGE RUSSELL,) North Beds.

The whole of the manuscript of this Return has been in the hands of the printers since the 17th ultimo, when it was ordered to be printed by the House. I understand from the printers that tables of figures such as the Return consists of take longer to print than mere letterpress. They will, however, lose no time in setting up the type, and will send on the proof in instalments to the Home Office, where there will be no delay in correcting it.

MR. JACKSON

Can the hon. Gentleman give any indication when we may expect it?

MR. GEORGE RUSSELL

No, Sir; it is impossible to do that.
