§ Viscount VALENTIAasked the Postmaster-General why postmen who have passed no Civil Service examination to qualify them for duty as sorting clerks and telegraphists are employed at the general post office at Oxford on that duty, their own duty being in the meantime provided by casual labour?
§ The POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Mr. Herbert Samuel)I am making inquiry into this matter, and I should be obliged if the Noble Lord would put his question again in a week.
§ Mr. HERBERT SAMUELIf the hon. and gallant Gentleman will give me particulars of any other cases I shall be pleased to make inquiries.
