§ MR. BUCHANANI beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury when the "Supplementary Civil Service Estimates will be issued?
§ MR. HANBURYThe usual date for sending in these Estimates to the Treasury is the middle of February, and whether Parliament meets early or late the Departments cannot be expected to ascertain their requirements before that date, as even then there are six weeks left of the current financial year. I hope to issue them next week.
