§ Mr. GLAZEBROOKasked the Postmaster-General whether he intends to reduce the status of the Stretford Road Branch Post Office, Manchester, to that of a town sub-office, under the control of a sub-postmaster and lower-paid assistants than at present; and, if so, will he reconsider his decision so as to avoid lowering the standard of efficiency at this office when the work and responsibility due to the National Insurance Act, etc., are increasing?
§ Mr. HERBERT SAMUELThe matter is under consideration; but the hon. Member may rest assured that in any case the duties will be adequately provided for.
