HC Deb 19 May 1908 vol 189 c78
MR. GEORGE ROBERTS (Norwich)

I beg to ask the Postmaster-General if he is aware that mail cart and van drivers and county mail cart drivers employed at the Norwich office are working sixty to seventy hours, and in some cases more, per week for wages varying from 15s. to 17s., and that these men receive no extra pay for Sunday labour nor allowance for holidays or sickness; if so, whether he will cause an inquiry to be made into the conditions thus prevailing with a view to hours and wages being adjusted to a fairer standard.

MR. SYDNEY BUXTON

I will have inquiry made in the matter.

MR. CROOKS

Is it the fact that this firm are known as "Messrs. Never Done"?
