§ MR. CONYBEAREI beg to ask the Postmaster General if all the postmen who attended the meeting on Clerkenwell Green are to be required to give a written declaration that they will abstain from attending similar meetings, as considerable doubt exists on this subject?
§ THE POSTMASTER GENERALThe postmen in question will be required to promise that they will not again act in defiance of Official Regulations; but it may, perhaps, be well again to point out to the hon. Member that these relate only to meetings for the discussion of official matters, and that postmen are as free as any other persons to attend public meetings, where questions of public interest are discussed, outside the hours of official duty.
§ MR. C. GRAHAMDoes the right hon. Gentleman consider that a meeting of postmen to discuss the subject of their wages comes under the Regulations as to discussing official questions?
§ MR. RAIKESCertainly, Sir. I do.
