§ MR. D. GRANTasked the Postmaster General, Whether in the recent notices posted in the Metropolitan district offices for second class sorters to apply for transfer to the General Post Office, it is intended that they shall carry their seniority with them?
§ MR. FAWCETTIn reply to my hon. Friend, I have to state that on transfer to the General Post Office the sorters of the Metropolitan District will rank below those who are sorters there already; but that relatively among themselves they will rank according to seniority, and will carry with them their present pay.
