HC Deb 13 March 1911 vol 22 c1873
Mr. SNOWDEN

asked if the Customs and Excise Amalgamation Committee has completed its inquiries; and, if not, how soon it is expected to do so; and, if the inquiry is completed, when will the Report be published?

Mr. CHARLES DUNCAN

asked whether the Committee set up for the purpose of amalgamating the Excise and Customs has yet concluded its work; whether any Report is to be issued; and whether any information can be given as to its findings and their effect on the branches of the service mentioned?

Mr. ILLINGWORTH

A definite date for the issue of this Committee's Report cannot yet be fixed; but, as my right hon. Friend has already stated, the work of this Committee is being pushed forward to a completion with the utmost possible despatch.
