HC Deb 28 February 1887 vol 311 cc694-5
MR. BRADLAUGH (Northampton)

asked the Postmaster General, Whether the system of promotion in the Central Telegraph Office is according to salary; and, whether that system places London clerks at a disadvantage, as compared with Provincial clerks, so that Provincial clerks junior in date of appointment are promoted to London vacancies over the heads of London clerks senior in date of appointment; and, if so, whether he will consider the possibility of placing London and Provincial clerks on a footing of equality as regards promotion?

THE POSTMASTER GENERAL (Mr. RAIKES) (Cambridge University)

I am not quite sure that I understand the Question; but if the hon. Member will call at the General Post Office, I will take care that he shall receive the fullest information.
