§ MR. FIELDTo ask the Secretary to the Treasury whether, seeing that the Assistant Comptroller and Auditor, on appointment, undertook to perform any additional duties that might devolve upon him as a result of the abolition of the chief clerkship then in contemplation, he will explain why £50 non-pensionable allowance was merged in the salary of the private secretary for pensionable purposes.
(Answered by Mr. Runciman.) I have nothing to add to the replies already given on this subject.
