THE REPLY.

Lord Olivier, replying, declared that owing to the magnitude of the issues involved it was in- possible to pass judgment on the Lee recom- mendations within such a short period. Meantime he sympathised with the claims of the Civil Service and declared recruiting in Britain for certain services had been temporarily suspended under | recommendations of the Lee Report, but British recruiting for pivotal services was being continued, There was no fear of not being able, to get sufficient applicants for the latter. As regards constitutional reform, Lord Olivier declined to prejudge the Report of the Committee, which at present was exhaustively exploring the situation.
