§ Mr. MIDDLETONasked the Postmaster-General whether he is aware that the footnote (b), page 66, namely, the regrading of the staff is under consideration, has appeared annually on the Estimates 2098W for the Post Office since 1917; and what progress has been made in settling the problem?
§ Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSThe regrading has been left in abeyance on account of the difficulty of reaching agreement with the staff on the matter. The whole question is under discussion by a Joint Committee of the two Post Office Whitley Councils.
