The hon. Member is under a misapprehension in thinking that only five cases have been taken since November last. Since that date the Commission has heard and disposed of 16 cases, the hearing of one alone of which occupied six full days. The staff of the Commission consists of six persons, namely, the secretary, two clerks, two typists and one messenger. Mr. Justice Tomlin, who presides, is unable to spare more time from his judicial functions; and, in view of the importance and technical character of the cases which come before the Commission, and the large sums of public money which are involved, I do not think that any further action can be taken to expedite the work.
