§ MR. KING (Hull, Central)I beg to ask the Postmaster General whether he has recommended to the Treasury any scheme for the improvement of the salaries of the Telegraph Engineering Inspectors; how long the matter has been under consideration; and, when he hopes to be in a position to carry the proposed changes into effect?
§ * MR. RAIKESThe matter to which my hon. Friend refers has formed the subject of a correspondence between the Lords of the Treasury and myself since June, 1888, and my last communication to them is still under their Lordships' consideration.
