Mr. MONTAGUE BARLOWasked the Postmaster-General whether he is aware that, as a result of reducing the status of the supervising officer at the Salford branch post office, there is now no provision made for supervising the staff for five hours each day, and whether this change has been made from motives of economy?
§ Mr. HERBERT SAMUELThe amount of supervision provided at the Salford branch post office was in no way affected by the alteration referred to by the hon. Member. The alteration was made because the number of officers to be supervised was not sufficient to justify the higher post.
§ Mr. GLAZEBROOKasked the Postmaster-General whether his intentions regarding the status of the Stretford Road branch post office, Manchester, are yet decided; and if he will state the weekly remuneration to be paid to the officers there employed?
§ Mr. HERBERT SAMUELI have decided not to make any alteration for the present in the status of the Stretford Road post office; the remuneration of the officers442W employed there will consequently remain unchanged.
