§ EARL DE LA WARR, in rising to ask the Government when it would be convenient to lay upon the Table the Return promised last Session relative to the overtime work of railway servants, said: My Lords, this Return was ordered last Session. I know it is a Return that must require time and give a considerable amount of trouble to the Railway Companies. I should be very unwilling to appear unduly to press upon Her Majesty's Government and the Railway Companies for the Return; but I think it is not unreasonable to ask that this Return should be in your Lordships' hands at an early time.
THE EARL OF LIMERICKI am asked by noble Friend (Lord Balfour of Burley) to answer this question. The Return to which the noble Earl refers was laid on the Table of your Lordships' House on the 28th of March. The Papers are now in the printer's hands, and will be circulated without delay.
