§ Lord HUGH CECILasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department when the Return relating to the working of the Benefices Act, 1898, granted earlier in the Session, will be laid upon the Table?
§ Mr. McKENNAThe previous Return on this subject, which took seven months to1512W complete, contained 395 entries. The present Return will contain about 1,400, and, owing to the great pressure of work in the Statistical Branch of the Home Office, I fear that it will be impossible to complete it before October.
