HC Deb 08 July 1918 vol 108 cc41-2
64. Colonel WEDGWOOD

asked the Postmaster-General whether he will reconsider the reduction of the status of the Stone Post Office in view of the growing importance of the town both as a residential and political centre?

Mr. ILLINGWORTH

The alteration of the status of the Stone office has been made in the interests of administrative efficiency, and will not affect the public postal services in the town. I regret that I can see no ground for altering the decision.

Colonel WEDGWOOD

Does not it mean that new public servants employed at this post office will have to work on short pay?

Mr. ILLINGWORTH

That does not arise out of the question.
