HC Deb 09 March 1920 vol 126 c1121W
Mr. STANTON

asked the Postmaster-General if dissatisfaction exists among the members of the Post Office staff who served in the special sections of the Royal Engineers during the late War; if, but for the immediate response of the civilian telegraphists in 1914, the Army would have been without an adequate and efficient signal service: and will he, therefore, consider the advisability of granting to those men a special war gratuity?

Mr. ILLINGWORTH

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given by the Financial Secretary to the Treasury to the hon. Member for South Nottingham (Lord H. Cavendish-Bentinck) on the 22nd of December.
