§ 53. Mr. HANNONasked the Postmaster-General whether any further developments have taken place with reference to the request of the National Federation of Postal and Telegraph Workers for official recognition; and if he will now review his former decision?
§ Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSONThe answer to both parts of the question is in the negative.
§ Mr. HANNONThis is a matter which has been before my right hon. Friend for a long period. When does he think he will really give it serious consideration?
§ Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSONMy view on this matter has not changed. I laid down the qualifying rule several years ago, and I still adhere to it.
§ Mr. HANNONIs not this an instance of the evil of maintaining one's opinion without checking it?
