HC Deb 23 May 1906 vol 157 cc1262-3
SIR ROBERT HOBART

To ask the Postmaster-General whether he can state what emoluments are considered necessary for the conversion of a sub-postmaster-ship to an office on the head establishment; and whether, in view of the prospective growth of Winton, Bournemouth, he will consider the advisability of placing that office on an established scale.

(Answered by Mr. Sydney Buxton.) The question of the conversion of an ordinary sub-postmastership into an office paid on the head office system is not decided solely on the amount of the emoluments. If the business of the post office at Winton, Bournemouth, increases as considerably as the hon. Member seems to expect, the question of placing the office on the head office system will be again considered.
