HC Deb 17 June 1907 vol 176 c167
MR. ASHLEY

I beg to ask the Postmaster General how many telegraph messengers are on duty after 7 p.m. in London; how often are the shifts changed; and what opportunity is given to these boys to attend a continuous course at any evening school, with a view of their obtaining skilled employment on discharge from the Post Office.

MR. SYDNEY BUXTON

I will obtain the information desired and communicate with the hon. Member.
