§ SIR WILLIAM BULLI beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury what has been the cause of delay in circulating his Memorandum on the Civil Service Estimates.
§ MR. RUNCIMANThe Memorandum was circulated on the 1st instant. I regret that it was not possible to place it in the hands of hon. Members at an earlier date, but I cannot admit, in view of the dates on which the Memorandum has been circulated in previous years, that there has been any unusual delay.
