HC Deb 20 March 1906 vol 154 cc222-3
MR. WILLIAM RUTHERFORD) (Liverpool, West Derby

I beg to ask the Postmaster-General if he will give a schedule of the various classes of employees in his Department whose case can be argued before the Select Committee.

MR. SYDNEY BUXTON

It is for the Committee to decide what classes of Post Office servants are covered by the reference.

MR. WILLIAM RUTHERFORD

Is it not competent for the Postmaster-General to state what classes he proposes to include in the inquiry?

MR. SYDNEY BUXTON

It is for the Committee to interpret the terms of reference.
