§ Mr. WILLIAM PEELasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will grant a Return, giving the names, addresses, and previous occupations and date of appointment of all persons selected by the Board of Trade to fill posts in Labour Exchanges?
§ Mr. SYDNEY BUXTONI presented to the House on 6th April last year a statement showing the principal officers appointed under the Labour Exchanges Act. As I have already stated on previous occasions, it is not customary to publish a detailed return with regard to individuals appointed to situations in the public service, and there does not appear to be any reason for departing from this custom in the present instance.
