§ MR. SAUNDERS (Newington, Walworth)I beg to ask the Postmaster General if his attention has been called to an article in The Pall Mall Gazette, of 6th September, with plans of the General Post Office showing inadequate working space for employés and insufficient means of escape in the event of accident or panic, with consequent danger to the large number of servants employed both by day and by night; and will he take steps to insure sufficient space for employés and suitable means of exit, equal to what would be required by Sanitary Authorities in respect of other buildings used for industrial purposes?
§ THE POSTMASTER GENERAL (Mr. A. MORLEY,) Nottingham, E.My attention was. called to the article mentioned, and I have made inquiry on the subject. Every precaution is taken against fire, and the means of exit are judged to be sufficient. I am, however, making further inquiries.
