§ MR. BARNES (Glasgow, Blackfriars)To ask the Postmaster-General if he is aware of the intention of the postmaster of Glasgow to have the bag room at Glasgow removed to the basement of the building; and if the opinion of the district medical officer has been obtained as to the advisability of such a change; and, if so, with what result.
§ (Answered by Mr. Sydney Buxton.) One of the two bag rooms at Glasgow is at present on the ground floor and the other in the basement. As part of a scheme of much needed improvements in the accommodation, including better cloak rooms and retiring rooms for part of the staff, it is proposed to give more space for the bag rooms and to put both in the basement. I understand that he medical officer has, in conversation, expressed doubts about the advisability of this arrangement, but I have not received any Report from him. I have directed that he should be consulted further before the alterations are carried out.
