§ MR. BARNES (Glasgow, Blackfriars)To ask the Postmaster-General whether he is now in a position to say when the positions of assistant inspectors of postmen at Glasgow, which have been performed by temporary substitutes since January, 1908, and authorised as part of the permanent establishment by the revision of staff dated May last, will be filled up, in accordance with his undertaking of the 18th of June that these vacancies should be filled up as early as possible.
(Answered by Mr. Sydney Buxton.) Four of the posts referred to have been filled. I am not yet in a position to say when it will be possible to fill the remaining posts, as the re-arrangement of duties in connection with the revision has not been completed. I regret the delay that has occurred.
