§ Mr. WILLIAM PEELasked the Secretary to the Treasury whether the Return of new posts created as a result of legislation passed during the last six years, moved for by the hon. Member for Taunton, has been prepared; and, if so, when will it be laid upon the Table of the House?
§ Mr. ILLINGWORTHI have nothing to add to the reply I gave to the hon Member yesterday.
§ Mr. PEELAs I never asked a question yesterday, may I inquire when the Return will be ready? Is the hon. Gentleman aware that this Return was moved for as long ago as April 10th, and can he say when the Return will be laid?
§ Mr. ILLINGWORTHI replied yesterday, and I understand the reply was in today's newspapers. Replies are being received from the Public Departments which it is necessary to consult; and the Return will be laid as soon as the information is complete.—[OFFICIAL REPORT, 3rd May, 1911, col. 563.]
