§ MR. SLOANTo ask the Postmaster-General whether, in view of the work and the rate of pay of adult night messengers, he will consider the advisability of granting them good conduct stripes 1374 similar to those which postmen are entitled to.
(Answered by Mr. Sydney Buxton.) The question has been carefully considered at various times; but, as I informed the hon. Member for West Nottingham on the 12th instant, it has not been thought desirable to extend the practice of granting good conduct stripes.
