Sir HENRY DALZIELasked whether a departmental committee had recommended that the office of Secretary to the Post Office in Scotland should be discontinued with the result that certain postal matters hitherto decided in Scotland would have to be referred to London; and whether, before coming to any decision on the matter, the Postmaster-General will endeavour to ascertain the opinions of 877 Scottish Members on the suggested change?
§ Mr. HERBERT SAMUELNo such suggestion has been made in recent years, and the report that I have contemplated, or am now contemplating, a change of the character referred to is wholly unfounded.
