§ MR. FLAVIN (Kerry, N.)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether he will grant the Return relative to established (certificated) Civil Service clerks on the Paper this day.
§ THE FINANCIAL SECRETARY TO THE WAR OFFICE (Lord STANLEY, Lancashire, Westhoughton)I am afraid my right hon. friend cannot consent to grant the Return on the Paper.
§ MR. FLAVINLast year I was refused a Return owing to the progress of the war. Why is it that, now the war is over, I am still refused?
§ LORD STANLEYThe Return cannot be granted.
§ MR. FLAVINThen I shall become a member of the Fourth Party, and make further inquiries.
