Mr. SMEDLEY CROOKE

asked the Postmaster-General the reason or reasons for the discharge of one of the Post Office servants, Councillor Percy Shurmur, from the Fordrough Lane Depot, Birmingham?

Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSON

Mr. Shurmer was dismissed from the Post Office service in, consequence of his conviction by the Birmingham Stinendiary for having used language likely to cause disaffection among the civil population during the recent general strike.
