HC Deb 12 May 1904 vol 134 cc1170-1
MR. BAYLEY (Derbyshire, Chesterfield)

I beg to ask the Postmaster-General if his attention has been called to the sanitary condition of the Smithfield Market Branch Post Office, where the employees' retiring room is an underground cellar of such a nature that the clerks employed there are allowed as a special case to go out for dinner, and to the lack of the necessary sanitary accommodation at the Great Tower Street Branch Office; and, if so, whether he will ask for a report on the sanitary condition of these two offices.

THE POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Lord STANLEY,) Lancashire, Westhoughton

The question of the sanitary condition of these two offices has been fully investigated on several occasions within the last few years; but in order that I may be fully informed as to their present condition, I have asked the principal medical officer to visit them and report on their sanitary condition.
