§ MR. SAMUEL ROBERTS (Sheffield, Ecclesall)I beg to ask the Postmaster-General whether, having regard to what has recently passed, he will now either allow all political societies or associations to be formed by members of the service, or else disallow them all.
§ THE POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Mr. SYDNEY BUXTON,) Tower Hamlets, PoplarI have recently explained to the House the position I have taken up in the matter.
§ MR. SAMUEL ROBERTSWill the right hon. Gentleman appoint a small Committee to inquire into the whole circumstances and report to this House:
§ MR. SYDNEY BUXTONI do not think so. I see no object in it.
§ MR. T. L. CORBETT (Down, N.)Are we to understand that postal servants are still forbidden to form any branch of the Primrose League?
§ MR. SYDNEY BUXTONThe hon. Member was in the House when I explained the matter the other day, and I cannot throw any further light on the subject.
MR. STANLEY WILSONAre we to understand that the Socialists and Labour Party are to have special facilities which are denied to other organisations?
§ MR. SYDNEY BUXTONNo, Sir.
