§ MR. GODDARD (Ipswich)To ask the Postmaster General whether, in view of the decision that the relatives of supervising officers are not to be appointed to the same offices, he will state why a sorting clerk and telegraphist at Liverpool has been transferred to the Salisbury Post Office, at which town his father holds the position of postmaster.
(Answered by Mr. Austen Chamberlain.) The officer in question has not been transferred to the Salisbury Post Office, nor is there any proposal to transfer him, but he has been allowed to exchange places for a period of four months with an officer employed at Salisbury.
