43. Mr. F. HALLasked the Postmaster-General if Mr. Taylor, the Post Office official who was reduced in rank for investing in the shares of the Marconi Company, expressed regret at the time, or has done so since, for his action or has indicated that it was taken under a misconception of the circumstances and the peculiar obligations of his office; and, if so, whether, in consideration of such expression of regret, he will now consider as to reinstating Mr. Taylor in his former position?
§ Mr. HERBERT SAMUELThe answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative, and to the second part in the negative.
