§ MR. SLOAN:To ask the Postmaster-General whether his attention has been called to the arrangements made for the supply of cash at the money order counter, Belfast, when teachers' warrants to the value of £2,000 fell to be paid on the 17th instant, if he is aware that the funds were supplied to the paying officer in small doles while the public waited, and that, at the conclusion of the day's business, the paying officer showed a deficit of £10, and on the following day it was discovered that the cashier had charged the paying officer with £10 more 787 than had actually been paid; and will he] state if steps will be taken to prevent these occurrences in future.
(Answered by Lord Stanley.) I have not yet received a report on the subject, but I will make inquiry.
