ME.BELL (Derby)To ask the Postmaster-General whether he is aware that an officer attached to the Controller's staff has been visiting the post offices in the Eastern Central district, London, which are staffed by women, for the purpose of persuading them from joining the Postal Telegraphs Clerks' Association; and, if so, will he state if such action was taken with his sanction, and whether the women counter clerks and telegraphists suffer any disabilities from joining this organization.
(Answered by Lord Stanley.) I am informed that there is no foundation for the suggestion conveyed by the hon. Member's Question. If his allegation is based on any definite facts, perhaps he will communicate them to me.
