§ MR. CURRAN (Durham, Jarrow)I beg to ask the Postmaster-General whether he is aware that adult night-messengers at several offices have been informed that they must accept appointments as town postmen; and whether, as it was the clear intention of the recent Select Committee that they should be made established adult night-messengers, he will have them placed on the established list, as was done in the case of the unestablished telegraphists at the Central Telegraph Office.
§ MR. SYDNEY BUXTONA number of adult night-messengers have been offered nominations to postmen's places, but there has been no compulsion. The postmen's places carry higher pay. All who are eligible under the recommendations of the Select Committee and who do not desire postmen's places will be established as adult night-messengers.
