HC Deb 05 May 1896 vol 40 c551
MR. WILLIAM ALLEN (Newcastle-under-Lyme)

I beg to ask the Patronage Secretary to the Treasury, whether he can state the cause of the delay which has taken place in nominating the Committee on Government contracts?

THE PATRONAGE SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Sir W. WALROND,) Devon, Tiverton

I hope in the course of a few days to move the appointment of this Committee.
