§ MR. CLAUDE HAYTo ask the Postmaster General if there is Treasury authority for paying the removal expenses of officers taking up duty on the Travelling Post Office with headquarters in the provinces; and whether it is the practice of the Department to pay such expenses.
(Answered by Mr. Austen Chamberlain.) I fear that I cannot, in an answer to a Question, give a full account of the regulations governing the payment of removal expenses; but, speaking generally, an allowance is made, subject to certain conditions, to an officer who is required to change his headquarters in the interests of the public service.
