§ MR. CHARLES SHAW () StaffordTo ask the Postmaster General whether he has received a petition, dated early in April last, from the staff of the Stafford Post Office respecting the allowance of 3s. per trip paid to officers performing duties on the Tamworth and Hereford sorting carriage; and whether, in view of the fact that the present allowance is insufficient to cover their expenses, he can give them a favourable reply.
(Answered by Mr. Austen Chamberlain.) Yes, Sir; this petition has been broutht to my notice, and I hope soon to be in position to answer it.
