Mr. PETHICK - LAWRENCE

When this question was in Committee, the question was put to the Financial Secretary to the Treasury with regard to the typewriters used in the offices for which he was responsible in this Vote, and the hon. Gentleman made an explanation with regard to these typewriters to which I desire to draw the attention of the House.

It being a Quarter-past Eight of the Clock, and there being Private Business, set down by direction of the Chairman of Ways and Means under Standing Order No. 8, further Proceeding was postponed, without Question put.
