§ MR. ERNEST GRAY (West Ham, N.)To ask the Secretary to the Treasury whether, having regard to the fact that during the last three sessions no opportunity has arisen for discussing the Customs Vote, he would consent to the appointment of a Committee, Departmental or otherwise, to consider the complaints which are put forward by a number of Customs officers, complaints which would have been submitted to the House had opportunity offered.
(Answered by Mr. Victor Cavendish.) The Treasury has been engaged in investigating the representations of various classes of Customs officers, and in these circumstances I see no reason for adopting the suggestion of my hon. friend.
