§ 43. Mr. THORNEasked the Postmaster-General whether his attention has been drawn to the observations of the county court judge at Birmingham regarding the claim for compensation brought against his Department by Mrs. Pizany, of Aston, Birmingham; and whether it is proposed to consider the matter further?
§ The ASSISTANT POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Sir Ernest Bennett)I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer which my right hon. Friend gave to a similar question by the hon. Member for Hitchin (Sir A. Wilson) yesterday.
§ Mr. THORNEWill the hon. Gentleman have a conversation with the Postmaster-General to see whether this case could not be settled out of court?
§ Sir E. BENNETTThe case is under appeal at the moment, and therefore the matter is sub judice.
