Capt. Lawrence Orr, q Con-

assistant postmaster general,
doubled the House up with
laughter when he said in dig
nified tones:
"There is. I am afraid, a GER

Capt. Orr wanted to know If
cats in Northern Ireland got less

Gamans said only the post Office
headquarters in Northern Ireland
had cats and these ''got a Spe-
cial allowance a few years ago
presumably for prestige reasons"
Mr. Gammans conceded that
the cats had experienced a gen.
