HC Deb 23 March 1914 vol 60 cc45-6W
Mr. LARDNER

asked the Secretary to the Treasury whether a petition was received by the Board of Customs and Ex- cise in September, 1913, from the preventive officers and men employed on baggage duty at Charing Cross and Victoria Stations requesting payment for remaining on duty all night on Saturdays and Sundays; if so, why no reply has as yet been made to this request; and what is the cause of the delay?

Mr. MONTAGU

The petition referred to was duly received by the Board. It involved a number of other questions which were under the review of a committee, whose report has recently been received, and is now under consideration.
