Mr. MONTAGUE BARLOWasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he has had under consideration the increased volume and more onerous character of the work thrown upon clerks to the surveyors, both established and unestablished, as the result of the Finance Act and of other recent legislation; and, if not, whether he will take the matter into consideration with a view to placing all clerks to surveyors who have either served a reasonable period of probation, or obtained the Civil Service Commissioner's certificate, on the establishment?
