§ MR. W. WILSONTo ask the Postmaster-General whether he is aware that when outsiders are employed to deliver telegraph messages on which porterage has to be paid the full amount charged by the Department for such porterage, is not paid to them, but that a deduction. of 25 per cent. is made by sub-postmasters in sonic cases; and whether the whole of the porterage should be paid to the messengers.
(Answered by Mr. Sydney Buxton.) I am not aware of the practice in question; but, if the hon. Member will be good enough to furnish me with particulars of the case or cases to which he refers, I shall be glad to make inquiry in the matter.
