§ 25. Mr. LINFIELDasked the Postmaster-General whether he is aware that a deputation from the Salaried Sub-Postmasters' Association was received by his Department on 8th August, 1923, to discuss the questions of title and manipulative duties which have been imposed on this class of officers; that a detailed scheme was submitted; that on three occasions a reply has been promised; and that, there is considerable indignation at the failure of his Department to reply to these matters; and whether he is now in a posi- 3100 tion to forward a reasoned reply to the general secretary of the association concerned?
§ The POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Mr. Hartshorn)I hope to send a reply to this association next week.
