§ MR. STEADMANI beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, whether at certain head post offices female sorting clerks and telegraphists are called upon to give official attendance till 10.30 p.m.; and if so, whether he will, on being furnished with details of such cases, take such steps as will obviate the necessity for so late an attendance by female clerks.
§ MR. HANBURYThe Postmaster General is not aware of such an arrangement as the hon. Member describes, and will, on being furnished with details, cause inquiry to be made with a view to the readjustment of any attendances which may be found to be contrary to rule.
