HC Deb 12 June 1913 vol 53 c1782
68. Mr. WILLIAM ABRAHAM

asked the Secretary to the Treasury when the Royal Commission of Inquiry into the Civil services may be expected to issue an interim Report of their proceedings and recommendations, so far as these relate to the Civil Service proper; and if he will inquire when evidence will be taken concerning the legal branches of the public departments in Ireland?

Mr. MASTERMAN

With regard to the first part, of the question, I would refer the hon. Member to the answer given by my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister to the hon. Member for Barrow-in-Furness yesterday. I understand that it, is not possible to say at present when evidence will be taken with regard to the legal departments.
