§ 91. Dr. MORRIS-JONESasked the Postmaster-General whether, in view of the appointment since 1925 of 11,000 tem- 1457 porary clerks to the general and departmental clerical class, 2,143 of whom were appointed without passing a competitive examination, he will give clerical appointments to the Post Office clerks who qualified at the 1926 competitive examination but have not been appointed?
§ The ASSISTANT POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Mr. Viant)I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply on this subject which I gave last Tuesday to the hon. Member for Crewe (Mr. Bowen).
§ Dr. MORRIS-JONESIs the hon. Gentleman aware of the very serious dissatisfaction there is at the Post Office?
§ Mr. VIANTWe are quite aware of that, but at the moment I have nothing to add to my previous reply.
