HC Deb 01 May 1902 vol 107 c451
MR. JOYCE (Limerick)

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, whether he is aware that dissatisfaction exists locally with regard to the procedure being adopted in reference to the personal inquiry into the staff arrangements at Limerick Post Office; and will he, with the view of evidence being freely given, instruct the official conducting the inquiry to take evidence from the staff direct in person instead of placing an unsigned document on the notice board inviting complaints.

MR. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN

The Postmaster General thinks that it will be better not to interfere with the discretion of the officer conducting the inquiry into the arrangements of the Limerick Post Office.

MR. JOYCE

What is the use of the inquiry if the staff are afraid to give evidence?
