§ 11. Mr. JOYNSON-HICKSasked the Postmaster-General whether he has made any inquiry as to whether there are any alien enemies employed in the Post Office, and more especially in the telegraph departments; and, if so, whether he proposes to take any, and what, steps in regard to them?
§ Mr. HOBHOUSEWith the exception of a very few officers, who joined the Post Office service from the old telegraph companies many years ago, and about whose nationality I have no information, established officers of the Post Office are British subjects. I am making a general inquiry regarding alien sub-postmasters, and any other cases of unestablished officers which are reported to me by the police are specially investigated.
