§ Lieutenant-Colonel W. GUINNESSasked the Secretary to the Treasury what is the cause of the delay in issuing Civil Service Estimates, Class II., whether the missing Estimates will be circulated before Easter; whether all Civil Service Estimates should be presented to the House within ten days after the opening of the Committee of Supply; and whether this Order of the House can be considered to be complied with if the Estimates are only presented in dummy?
§ Mr. BALDWINClass II. of the Civil Service Estimates is now in the hands of Members. The delay, which I regret, is mainly due to the complete recasting of many of the Estimates which has been necessitated by the discontinuance of Votes of Credit.
