§ MR. WILES (Islington, S.)To ask the Postmaster General whether the revision of duties at the South Eastern District Office, which has been in course of preparation for the past twelve months, is approaching completion, and if an opportunity for making suggestions both with regard to the hours 1568 of attendance as well as the efficient handling of the work will be given to the staff before the revision is finally settled.
(Answered by Mr. Sydney Buxton.) The revision proposals have been completed; but, as they will require to be carefully examined, some time may elapse before the revision is carried into effect. The proposals have been framed with due regard to the hours of attendance of the staff and to the efficient handling of the work; but I am, of course, prepared to receive any representation from the staff on these points which they may desire to make.
