HC Deb 26 March 1907 vol 171 c1654
MR. O'GRADY (Leeds, E.)

I beg to ask the Postmaster-General whether he is aware that excessive overtime is being worked by the staff in the sorting office at Leeds; whether this could be obviated by an increase in the staff dealing with circulars, and the appointment of an adequate substitution staff with well-defined duties, such staffs not to be drawn upon for duties other than those for which they were established; and, if so, whether steps will be taken at an early date to deal with this matter.

MR. SYDNEY BUXTON

Additional force has of late been employed in the sorting office at Leeds, and the amount of overtime duty performed has been much reduced. A revision of the establishment is under consideration, and the matter will not be lost sight of.
