§ Mr. G. THORNEasked the Postmaster-General whether his attention has been called to the fact that tickets for a Primrose League fête at Maer on Thursday, 24th June, were on sale at the post offices at Whitmore, Maer, Baldwin's Gate, Batley, Keele, Ashby, Eccleshall, Swynnerton, Stone, Stanton, Madeley, Pipe Gate, and Woore; whether he is aware that, in addition to horse and pony races, and turnout and trotting competitions, political addresses were delivered by the hon. and gallant Members for the Stone Division of Staffordshire and for the Basingstoke Division of. Hants; whether this indicates that it is the policy of his Department to allow post offices to be used for party purposes; and, if not, whether he will give instructions that they are not to be employed as party agencies?
§ Mr. ILLINGWORTHI am having inquiry made and will communicate later with the hon. Member.
