HC Deb 27 August 1889 vol 340 cc590-1
MR. JAMES ROWLANDS

I beg to ask the Postmaster General whether, inasmuch as all the most important duties in the various departments of the Post Office are at the present time discharged by the old establishment, in preparing the Return classifying the officers of the Department, in accordance with the terms of the Treasury Minute, the claims of those officers to be considered, de facto, officers of the Upper Division of the Service will be recognised?

SIR H. MAXWELL

The question of the hon. Member is somewhat premature, inasmuch as the Postmaster General has not been called upon to prepare any such Return as that alluded to, but I have no doubt that the point indicated by the hon. Member will receive the attention of the Government.
