asked the Postmaster-General if he is prepared to arrange a check of membership of the organisations concerned in order to determine the proportion of the postal and telegraph officers organised in the National Association of Postal and Telegraph Officers in connection with the claim of that body for recognition.

No. The membership claimed by the National Association of Postal and Telegraph Officers falls so far short of the proportion required for recognition that a check of the membership of the association and of the recognised body would serve no useful purpose.
