§ MR. FIELD (Dublin, St. Patrick)To ask the Postmaster-General on what terms officials of the municipal telephone service at Glasgow are being transferred to the Post Office service; and whether he will take such steps as will effectually prevent any cases of hardship, collective or individual, to the present members of the Post Office engineering department.
(Answered by Mr. Sydney Buxton.) The employees of the corporation telephone service at Glasgow are being transferred to the Post Office service in the first instance on the same terms and conditions as those which applied to their service under the corporation. In any arrangements for their incorporation in the Post Office service I shall endeavour to secure that injustice is not done either to present or future members of that service.
