§ SIR SAMUEL SCOTT (Marylebone, W.)I beg to ask the Prime Minister how many appointments have been made to permanent messenger ships in Government offices since January, 1906, and what was the occupation of the different men prior to appointment.
SIR H. CAMPBELL BANNERMANI am afraid that the labour in compiling this information would be out of all proportion to the value of the result.
§ SIR SAMUEL SCOTTHow many appointments have been made?
§ SIR H. CAMPBELL-BANNERMANI cannot say.
§ SIR SAMUEL SCOTTThe labour involved could not be very great.
§ SIR H. CAMPBELL-BANNERMANI have given the information supplied me by the Department.
