HC Deb 04 August 1881 vol 264 c822
MR. SCHREIBER

asked the Postmaster General, Whether, before the Post Office Vote is taken, he will arrange to receive a deputation from the Metropolitan letter carriers, who desire to be heard by him in support of the statements contained in their Petitions of the 26th April?

MR. FAWCETT, in reply, said, that he could only repeat what he had already stated on this subject. He had received numerous Memorials from the letter-carriers in various parts of the country, and those Memorials were now being carefully considered. As yet he had not found it necessary to supplement the statements contained in them by personal interview; and he was, therefore, unable to accede to the request of the hon. Member that he would receive a deputation.
