§ Sir A. SINCLAIRasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether he is aware that a number of officials employed as excisemen experience great difficulty in obtaining suitable accommodation at the stations to which they are assigned; and whether he will consider such an alteration of their terms of engagement as would ensure that they were properly housed while they are in the public service?
§ Mr. PETHICK-LAWRENCEIt is not clear to what officials the hon. and gallant 933W Member refers, but if he will furnish me with particulars of any individual cases, I shall be happy to have inquiries made, and to inform him of the result.
