§ Sir ARTHUR STEEL-MAITLANDasked the Postmaster-General if he can say why war gratuity has not been awarded to H. J. Cooke, J. Spiers, R. P. Johnson, P. Borchan, and other members of the Post Office Engineering Department who have served during the War in the Royal Engineers; whether he is aware that dissatisfaction exists because it is 584W thought that while some members have received the gratuity others, whose record is the same, have not; and whether he can make any statement on the subject?
§ Mr. PIKE PEASEI beg to refer the hon. Member to the reply given by the Financial Secretary to the War Office on the 10th of April last. My right hon. Friend wrote to the hon. Baronet on the 5th instant.
