§ MR. SWIFT MACNEILLI beg to ask the Postmaster-General whether he is aware that a learner at Portadown, in receipt of 14s. per week, having the monetary responsibility of stamps, money orders, postal orders, Inland Revenue stamps, issue of licences, and other work involving the handling of hundreds of pounds sterling, during the four weeks ending 27th May, 1905, lost £3 8s. 9d.; will he say whether this learner will be compelled to make up this amount out 721 of his wages; and whether he will take steps that learners in receipt of small wages shall not be entrusted with this important work.
