JOYNSON-HICKSasked the Prime Minister whether he is aware that there are still many thousands of persons in the various Government offices who could well be dispensed with; and whether he will appoint a small Committee of energetic Members to sit during the Vacation with a view to reducing this wasteful expenditure?
