§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Minister for the Civil Service (1) on what date and at what time he wrote to the hon. Member for West Ham, North, regarding Mr. George Pottinger, a civil servant in the 171W Scottish Department; and whether he is aware that although this letter was promised in writing on Thursday, 13th July, by Monday, 17th July, no such letter had arrived;
(2) when the hon. Member for West Ham, North may expect to receive the letter promised to him regarding the position of Mr. G. Pottinger of the Scottish Department.
§ Mr. Kenneth BakerI wrote to the hon. Member on Thursday, 13th July, and the letter was despatched to the House of Commons at 6 p.m. The hon. Member has since replied to my letter. It would greatly assist me in expediting correspondence with the hon. Member if he correctly addressed his letters to me by name rather than, as at present, addressing them to my hon. Friend the Member for Cambridge (Mr. Lane).
