HC Deb 22 March 1904 vol 132 c386
MR. SLOAN (Belfast, S.)

To ask the Postmaster-General if he will explain why the adult messengers in Belfast and other towns are not supplied with the regulation waistcoats similar to postmen; and whether, in view of the night duty performed by these messengers, he will consider the advisability of extending the supply to them.

(Answered by Lord Stanley.) I have looked into this matter, and I have decided to make the supply of uniforms to adult night messengers the same as that for winter wear to postmen and on the same conditions.
