§ SIR SAMUEL SCOTT (Marylebone, W.)To ask the Secretary of State for War, whether the Treasury intend for the future to appoint clerks of the higher division of the Civil Service to the War Office; and, if not, in what manner it is proposed to fill the posts at the War Office hitherto held by gentlemen belonging to that branch of the Civil Service.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Haldane.) Representations on the subject have been made to the War Office by the Treasury and have been replied to, but no decision has yet been arrived at.
