§ MR. J. MAINSI beg to ask the Postmaster General on what date was Mr. M. S. Philson, Postmaster, Omagh, suspended; what were the charges on which he was suspended; and, has there been any inquiry; if so, will he state what is the result?
§ THE POSTMASTER GENERAL (Mr. ARNOLD MORLEY,) Nottingham, E.Mr. Philson, Postmaster of Omagh, was suspended on the 20th November last. The charges on which he was suspended involved irregularities of account, and these have been the subject of prolonged inquiry; but, having regard to Mr. Philson's explanation, and also to the fact that between two printed forms of direction with which he had been supplied, there were, undoubted inconsistencies which may have led him into error, I considered the case to be not free from doubt, and so he was allowed to resume duty.
