§ MR. W. THORNEI beg to ask the Postmaster-General, can he state the number of men that would be required under his control if the hours of those men who were working more than eight per day were reduced to eight per day.
§ MR. SYDNEY BUXTONThe information for which the hon. Member asks is not available. In the case of the great majority of Post Office servants the hours of duty are eight per day, or less. As regards those classes whose hours of duty are oversight hours they have been fixed in accordance with the recommendations of the recent Select Committee on Post Office Servants.
