§ 41. Captain GARRO-JONESasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury if he will publish a statement showing the Regulations as to the conditions of service in His Majesty's civil establishments?
§ Mr. McNEILLPart. II of the Order in Council of 10th January, 1910, prescribes rules applicable to all permanent officers in His Majesty's civil establishments. It would not be feasible to publish a statement showing the detailed Regulations governing the special conditions of service applicable to every grade in the service and to each Department or establishment.
§ Captain GARRO-JONESIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that these Regulations will come under discussion when we reach Clause 5 of the Trade Unions 1009 Bill, and in view of this fact would it not be an advantage for hon. Members to have those Regulations before them?
§ Mr. McNEILLIt might be an advantage, but for the reasons I have given it would not be practicable.
§ Captain GARRO-JONESIf we are to be allowed to discuss these Regulations, what is the objection to having them published?
§ Mr. McNEILLBecause the volume both of labour and time necessary to do this would be out of all proportion to the value.
§ Captain GARRO-JONESAre we going to discuss these Regulations without knowing what they are? Are we going to pass this Bill without knowing what we are doing?
