§ Mr. WILESasked the Postmaster-General if he will state when the next open competitive examination for sorter-ships in the London postal service will take place; and whether the list for the limited competition has been extended beyond the advertised number?
§ The POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Mr. Sydney Buxton)No date has yet been fixed for the next open competition for male sorterships in London. The number of candidates originally declared successful in the competitions restricted to postmen and other Post Office servants has been increased to provide for the vacancies which have occurred in excess of those estimated at the time that arrangements were made for holding the last competition.
