42. Mr. MacCALLUM SCOTTasked the Secretary to the Treasury if he will cause an Appendix to the Estimates to be prepared containing the superannuation and retired allowances relating to the Revenue Departments of the Public Service, complementary to H. C. Paper 297, of Session 1912?
§ The FINANCIAL SECRETARY to the TREASURY (Mr. Masterman)A return such as the hon. Member asks would be very bulky and expensive to print. If he will look at the Revenue Departments Estimates for 1912–13 (H.C. 6 IX.) he will see that the statement of allowances, etc., granted and ceased in the Post Office alone during one year occupies twenty-four pages of print. It does not appear to me that the information such a return would contain would be of such value as to justify the expense of its preparation.
