§ MR. JACOBY () Derbyshire, MidTo ask the Postmaster General whether he will issue a Comparative Return showing the number of sorting clerks, sorters, and telegraphists receiving the maximum pay of their class, with particulars of their service in London and all the offices scheduled in Class A.
(Answered by Mr. Austen Chamberlain.)
Such a Return (so far as the provincial offices are concerned) was given in 1899, and it appears to me that no useful purpose would be served by reproducing it now. I am therefore not prepared to assent to it.
