§ 12. Mr. HUNTasked the Postmaster-General, whether his attention has been called to the fact that the Post Office engineer, Mr. Taylor, has been degraded and subjected to an annual fine in the shape of reduced salary for buying a small quantity of the English variety of Marconi shares; whether he has been already sufficiently punished; and can he now be reinstated in his former rank and salary?
§ Mr. HERBERT SAMUELI would refer the hon. Member to my answer to a question on this matter on the 26th June.
§ Mr. HUNTWill the right hon. Gentleman say why a Post Office engineer has been punished by a fine, while for a similar offence Cabinet Ministers are lunched and whitewashed?
§ Mr. HERBERT SAMUELThere is no similarity at all.
