HC Deb 16 July 1897 vol 51 c297
MR. JOHN AIRD (Paddington, N.)

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, if postmen will still be allowed to receive Christmas offerings from those who value their services?

MR. HANBURY

It will be more convenient I think to state the decision as to Christmas boxes on the Post Office Vote, when I can do so more fully than in a reply to the Questions of my hon. Friend and my hon. Friend the Member for Hastings, both of whom have taken so much interest in this subject. Of course there has never been any question of not allowing postmen to receive Christmas offerings from those who value their services.
