§ MR. RICHARDSON (Nottingham, S.)To ask the Postmaster-General whether, in view of the dissatisfaction and friction existing among the staff by allowing some transferred officers to retain their seniority and thus supplant the local staffs, he will take steps to meet such cases by monetary payments and disallow seniority.
(Answered by Mr. Sydney Buxton.) This matter was raised before the Select Committee on Post Office Servants; and until the Committee have made their Report and I have had time to consider it, I cannot entertain any change in the present practice.
