§ MR. KENNYasked the Postmaster General, in anticipation of the Parcels Post coming into operation shortly, Has any of the superior appointments under 21 it yet been made; and, if so, what has been the mode of selection, and has any undue preference been given to the Postal over the Telegraph branch, of the Service, complaint having arisen that such was the case on the promulgation of the late scheme; and, will any of the appointments fall to the share of those telegraph clerks who, owing to the requirements of the Service, have long service in provincial offices, and who have not fared so well under late revision as some of their more fortunate brethren, of equal service, attached to larger offices?
§ MR. FAWCETTI do not, at present, anticipate that the introduction of the Parcels Post will necessitate any appointments of the kind which I presume the hon. Member has in view; at any rate, the number will be very small, and in making selections for them care will be taken to promote the best qualified.
