§ MR. DU CROSTo ask the Postmaster-General whether the notice in the Post Office Circular, No.1702, of February 13th, 1906, granting secretaries of the various postal organisations the right of making representations to the Postmaster-General, is to be regarded as an instruction to postmasters and surveyors to receive and consider communications from secretaries of branches of such organ sations in their districts, relating to the service and affecting members of the class of which the branch of an association is representative; if not, will he issue instructions for this to be done, in order that the postal organisations may be fully recognised.
(Answered by Mr. Sydney Buxton.) The secretaries of the branches of the various postal organisations are at liberty to make, to postmasters and surveyors, representations relating to the service and affecting the class of which the branch of an association is representative. In regard, however, to matters solely affecting an individual, and not his class or branch of the service, the appeal is to come from the individual himself.
