§ Mr. MORLEYasked the Postmaster-General if his attention has been called to the fact that in the Southampton Post Office a postman 50 places junior to the senior man interviewed was appointed acting head postman; and, in view of the dissatisfaction caused by the appointment, will he inquire into the matter?
§ Mr. LEES-SMITHMy attention has already been drawn to the appointment to which soy hon. Friend refers and I am satisfied that the postman selected was the officer best qualified for the position in question. He occupied the eighth position on the list of postmen selected to substitute on supervising duties when required.
