HC Deb 23 March 1903 vol 119 c1456
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. FLAVIN

Last 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 STANLEY

The Return cannot be granted.

MR. FLAVIN

Then I shall become a member of the Fourth Party, and make further inquiries.
