§ 64. Colonel WEDGWOODasked the Postmaster-General whether he will reconsider the reduction of the status of the 42 Stone Post Office in view of the growing importance of the town both as a residential and political centre?
§ Mr. ILLINGWORTHThe 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 WEDGWOODDoes not it mean that new public servants employed at this post office will have to work on short pay?
§ Mr. ILLINGWORTHThat does not arise out of the question.
