§ MR. ANSTRUTHEROn behalf of my right hon. Friend the Member for London University, I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury when a reply may be expected to the Memorials from the clerks of the Second Division of the Civil Service, which were sent to the Treasury during the Autumn of last year?
§ THE SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Sir J. T. HIBBERT,) OldhamIt is no more than four years ago that the whole conditions of service of Second Division clerks were revised and greatly 685 improved in accordance with the recommendations of the Royal Commission on Civil Establishments. Those recommendations are being steadily carried out, and the Treasury does not consider that a case has been made out for any general revision of the settlement of 1890 such as the Memorialists desire. In these circumstances, it has not been thought necessary to issue a Circular upon the question.
