§ 57. Lieut.-Colonel Sir S. HOAREasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer when it is proposed to publish the next issue of the statement showing the staffs of Government Departments on 1st July, 1919, compiled from Returns furnished to the Treasury?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINCommand papers showing the staffs of Government Departments on 1st August, 1st September, and 1st October have already been issued. I am sending my hon. and gallant Friend a copy of the last (Cmd. 380). The November statement is now in the hands of the printers.
§ Sir S. HOAREWhen will the November Statement be ready?
§ Sir S. HOAREWill it be ready in a day or two?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINI really cannot say, but it is in the hands of the printers and will be published as soon as possible. My hon. and gallant Friend's question suggests that he has not looked at the Intermediate Returns yet.
§ Sir S. HOAREIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that I was only quoting the 1132 actual Title on the first issue of the Paper in order that he should be able to identify it? As a matter of fact, I have followed every one of these Papers with the greatest care.
