§ MR. NANNETTI (Dublin, College Green)To ask the Postmaster-General how many sub-officers there are in the Dublin postal district; how many assistants are employed in these offices; what is the aggregate amount of the salaries paid to the sub-postmasters in charge of these offices last year; what is the aggregate amount of the salaries paid to the assistants engaged in these offices during the same time; are the sub-postmasters in question required to pay out of their own stipends not only the assistants' salaries but also office rent, cost of repairs, fire, light, and stationery; what was the average salary of a sub-postmaster in the Dublin postal district last year, after deducting the expenses entailed in carrying on the postal and telegraph duties entrusted to him.
(Answered by Mr. Sydney Buxton.) I have not yet been able to obtain the Returns asked for by the hon. Member, but as soon as the information is available I will communicate with him.
