HC Deb 07 March 1890 vol 342 cc256-7
MR. CUNINGHAME GRAHAM (Lanark, N.W.)

I beg to ask the Postmaster General if any complaints have reached him as to the alleged inferior quality of winter clothing supplied to rural postmen; and if he can arrange? that the same quality of winter clothing b3 supplied both to rural and urban postmen?

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

No complaints have reached me as to the alleged inferior quality of the winter clothing supplied to rural postmen. Indeed, I have reason to believe that the clothing is, on the whole, very satisfactory, and in these circumstances I see no reason for making any change. But if the hon. Member can supply me with any evidence to the contrary I shall be ready to consider it.
