§ MR. J. CUMMING MACDONA (Southwark, Rotherhithe)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury what is being done with reference to the Memorial of the permanent labourers of Her Majesty's Customs; and whether he will consider the advisability of granting these men 24s. per week, as received by 1746 men performing similar duties in other Government Departments?
§ MR. HANBURYThis matter is still under the consideration of the Board of Customs, and cannot be settled until certain other questions affecting the subordinate officers of the Outdoor Department have been decided.
