§ SIR ALBERT ROLLIT (Islington, S.)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, whether it is with the sanction of the Postmaster General that the practice which has existed for ninny years at the Northern District Office is to be departed from, and that suburban overseers who have been recruited from the ranks of postmen are to be introduced into the town office to supervise sorters who have passed a high educational test, sorters being thus deprived of their chance of promotion?
§ MR. HANBURYThe second class of overseers in the Northern District, as in other districts of London, has become redundant under the recommendations of the Tweedmouth Committee, and the question of disposing of the officers at present in this class is now being considered. No decision has yet been arrived at.
