§ MR. BARTLEY (Islington, N.)I beg to ask the Postmaster General whether he is aware that at some provincial towns postmasters require postmen to give guarantee bonds; and whether it is a fact that the requirement of guarantee bonds has been given up in London and elsewhere?
§ THE POSTMASTER GENERAL (Mr. A. MORLEY,) Nottingham, E.The facts are as stated by the hon. Member. So far as I am aware the diversity of practice has given rise to no complaint, but attention having been called to the matter I will see whether the practice in the country cannot be assimilated to that in London.
