§ MR. PATRICK O'BRIEN (Kilkenny)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, whether any allowance has been made or will be made to the five witnesses who gave evidence before the Departmental Committee last year in this House on behalf of the sub-postmasters to meet the heavy expenses, travelling and hotel, which those witnesses incurred in coming long distances and remaining a week in London?
§ MR. HANBURYThe Postmaster General is not aware that the representatives of the sub-postmasters at the House of Commons Conference have made any application for an allowance towards the expense they incurred, but he will consider any application that may be made should they decide on making it.
