§ MR. SCHWANN (Manchester, N.)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, whether the Postmaster General will cause the additional stripes to be given to two Manchester postmen, namely, A. Hill and A. Guard, which are overdue if their junior service is counted as half.
§ MR. HANBURYYes, Sir. It is largely the men's own fault they have not received them already.
§ MR. SCHWANNDid they not send a memorial to the Postmaster General twelve months ago?
§ MR. HANBURYYes; but they asked that the whole of their previous service should count for stripes, whereas the Tweedmouth Committee recommended that only half should count.
