§ Mr. T. GRIFFITHSasked the Postmaster-General how many town sub-offices there are in London at which the emoluments at the basic rate exceed the figure of £500; and whether, having regard to the delay which has taken place in the process of converting these offices into branch offices, he will do everything possible to expedite the change in the interests of the public and the staff?
§ Mr. KELLAWAYThe number is 50. The circumstances are still too abnormal to admit of the general re-introduction of the pre-War policy of creating branch offices, but individual cases which present special features are dealt with on their merits.
