HC Deb 09 October 1941 vol 374 cc1142-3W
Captain Plugge

asked the Postmaster-General whether since there are now, even in London, only three deliveries of letters and similarly reduced collections, post-women can be more extensively used?

Mr. W. S. Morrison

Postmen liable for military service are not being reserved by the Post Office, and, as they are called up, are being replaced by women. Women are therefore already employed in large numbers on the delivery and collection of letters, and more women will be employed as the war continues. Four deliveries are made daily in London head districts.
