HC Deb 19 March 1903 vol 119 cc1229-30
MR. KEIR HARDIE (Merthyr Tydvil)

I beg to ask the Postmaster-General whether his attention has been drawn to the remarks made by Mr. Justice Phillimore when directing the grand jury at the opening of the Glamorgan Assizes, in which he animadverted on the low wages paid to five Post Office employees who were to be tried, and expressed the hope that the Post Office authorities would consider this state of things; and whether he proposes taking any action in the matter.

MR. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN

As these cases have not yet been adjudicated upon, I must ask the hon. Member to postpone his Question. When the cases are finished, I shall be prepared to answer the Question.
