§ Mr. CHARLES DUNCANasked whether the right hon. Gentleman can state the cause of the further delay in the issuing of the general order authorising the payment of arrears of salary to the Customs and Excise officials, it being understood by the officers concerned that the necessary calculations have been completed some little time; and whether he is now in a position to state definitely that directions shall be issued for payment forthwith?
