§ CAPTAIN NORTON (Newington, W.)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, whether, seeing that the Postmaster General, in reply to the Postmen's Federation, stated, on 12th December, 1901, that any representations with respect to certain subjects, and any request for an interview with respect to the grievances of any particular class, should be made by those who were directly concerned, he is now prepared to receive a deputation from the unestablished auxiliary and assistant postmen.
§ MR. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAINThe Postmaster General is not aware that any application has recently been made by auxiliary and assistant postmen for an interview with him. Should such an application be received it shall be duly considered, and an interview granted, if it appears likely that any useful purpose will be served.
