HC Deb 25 April 1907 vol 173 cc276-7
MR. O'GRADY (Leeds, E.)

I beg to-ask the Postmaster-General whether he is aware that the mail van drivers in Bristol work on an average fourteen and three-quarter hours per day for six days of the week and six to eleven hours on Sundays, and receive in wages only 21s. per week, with no pay for overtime; and whether, in view of the nature of the service, inquiries will be instituted with a view to giving the Bristol mail van drivers similar improvements in their terms of service to those granted to the metropolitan drivers.

THE POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Mr. SYDNEY BUXTON,) Tower Hamlets, Poplar

I will make inquiry on this subject, and will aquaint the hon. Member with the result.
