HC Deb 12 May 1914 vol 62 c907
57. Mr. FREDERICK WHYTE

asked the Secretary to the Treasury whether the Treasury is at present considering the question of transferring the Public Trustee and his Department to the Civil Service?

Mr. MONTAGU

The Department of the Public Trustee formed the subject of certain recommendations by the Royal Commission on the Civil Service which are at present under consideration.

Mr. F. WHYTE

Are these recommendations carried into effect by administration of the Treasury alone?

Mr. MONTAGU

Perhaps the hon. Member will give notice of the question.
