§ Mr. HARRY LAWSONasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is now able to give a favourable reply to the statement of grievances sent to him by the surveyors of Customs (old grade), the receipt of which was acknowledged on the 3rd of February, and supplemented by a statement which was transmitted to the Financial Secretary to the Treasury on 14th July, both of which showed, inter alia,. that in the opinion of the surveyors the Chancellor's Grant of £50 to the maximum salaries of the old second and third classes has been practically nullified by the issue by the Board of Customs and Excise of General Order 54/1912?
§ Mr. LLOYD GEORGEThe statement in question has been considered, but I see no reason to disturb the amalgamation settlement in the case of these surveyors. I certainly cannot accept the suggestion contained in the last paragraph.
