§ Mr. WILESasked the Postmaster-General whether the number of appointments to the class of third-class clerks of the engineering establishment will be increased over and above the number of vacancies advertised and competed for in the recent examination?
§ Mr. HERBERT SAMUELThe question whether it will be necessary to increase the number of appointments offered is dependent on the occurrence within the next few months of additional vacancies. Of this I have at present no knowledge.
