§ Mr. CLYNESasked the Postmaster-General whether a supervising vacancy is still left unfilled in the Manchester Trunk Exchange; whether this duty has been covered for a considerable period by an officer receiving substitution pay; whether the appointment was held in abeyance in consequence of the transfer of the National Telephone Company's staff; and whether, in view of the fact that the reorganisation of the staffs is now complete, he will order that the vacant appointment shall be filled?

§ Mr. HERBERT SAMUELThe reorganisation of the Manchester Exchange is not yet complete, and at the present time I am not in a position to alter the arrangement which I explained to the hon. Member in reply to his question on 19th July last.
