§ Mr. Iremongerasked the Assistant Postmaster-General what sum is issued to postmen on the beginning of their rounds; of what coins this sum is composed; how long ago the sum in question was decided upon; and whether he is satisfied that it is adequate for the many small doorstep transactions requiring the giving of change for which the postman is responsible.
§ Mr. GammansIt has never been the practice to issue a sum of money to postmen at the beginning of their rounds for giving change and, so far as I am aware, this has not hitherto given rise to difficulty, but if my hon. Friend will let me have details of any case he has in mind, I will gladly look into it.
