§ MR. HUNTER (Aberdeen, N.)I beg to ask the Postmaster General what is the reason of the continued delay in filling up a vacancy in the supervising class of the Aberdeen telegraph, staff that has existed since June, 1888?
§ * MR. RAIKESThe vacancy on the class of senior clerks at Aberdeen to which the hon. Member refers was filled up by the promotion in August last of Mr. Gordon, and I regret that I have not yet been able to fill up the vacancy caused by Mr. Gordon's promotion, but I hope to be able to do so shortly.
