HC Deb 26 June 1907 vol 176 c1407
CAPTAIN CRAIG

I beg to ask the Postmaster-General the length of service and qualifications of the postmasters recently appointed to Warrenpoint and Carlingford respectively.

MR. SYDNEY BUXTON

Neither of the persons appointed to the two sub-post offices named had any experience of post office work; but both were regarded as the most eligible of the available candidates.

CAPTAIN CRAIG

And in order to appoint these two men were thirty other officials with sterling qualifications passed over so that Nationalists might have the appointments, men who had never had a single hour's acquaintance with the office?

MR. SYDNEY BUXTON

The officers appointed were those considered to be the best qualified.
