§ Mr. CHARLES BATHURSTasked the Postmaster-General whether he can make arrangements for the provision of one suit of uniform every year to men who are regularly employed every day by the Post Office under an allowance in delivering His Majesty's mails, even if the time occupied in such employment does not exceed an hour and a half?
§ The POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Mr. Herbert Samuel)No uniform is supplied to auxiliary postmen and men employed under allowance who work for less than three hours a day. I do not think that there is any justification for the heavy expenditure which would be entailed by the supply of uniform to men whose official duty takes up so small a portion of their time.
