The Postmaster General now recommends
that the vacancy caused by the death of the late Mr.
Holdman should be filled by the promotion of Mr. Thomas
Lay and by the transfer from within the Government service
of a suitable officer to fill his place. I have accord-
ingly, subject to your concurrence, appointed Mr. Lay
Senior Assistant Superintendent of Mails on the scale
£460 £560, on six months probation, while the vacancy
so caused has been filled by the transfer also on six
months probation of Mr. W.H. Whittaker, an officer of
the Sanitary Department. The question
The question of a personal
allowance to Mr. Lay does not therefore arise.

This modification of my original
proposals will throw considerable responsibility upon the
shoulders of Mr. Hynes, and this additional responsibility
is likely to continue until his retirement. In the
circumstances, while I do not wish to pursue my suggestion
that the emoluments of the post should be raised I am
prepared to recommend the grant to Mr. Hynes as from 1st
January, 1934, of a personal pensionable allowance of
£50 per annum, and I should be glad to receive your
approval of this payment.

My attention has been drawn in this
connection to an anomaly which has hitherto existed in
the case of European subordinate officers in the General
Post Office, some of whom have in the past been granted
free quarters under General Order 109 while others have
been eligible for rented quarters or allowances under
General Order 108.
