HC Deb 22 March 1900 vol 81 cc53-4
MR. MACALEESE

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, how many officials, including the postmaster, money order clerks, telegraphists, letter deliverers, telegraph messengers, rural messengers, and mail car drivers, are employed in and about the Monaghan Post Office; of these how many are females; what is the cubic feet space of the usable portion of the building; and what are the sanitary arrangements, and is provision made for separate accommodation of the sexes; and will he direct a report to be made upon the sanitary state of the post office in question.

MR. HANBURY

There are twenty-one men and one woman. I do not understand the third paragraph. The cubic content of the rooms used for official purposes is 10,000 feet, exclusive of the space used for stores, batteries, etc. The only woman employed is at the railway station. The sanitary condition of the office was investigated a short time since, and what was considered necessary has been done.
