HC Deb 23 March 1911 vol 23 c607
Dr. ADDISON

asked whether arrangements are being made by the Thames Ironworks Shipbuilding and Engineering Company to give effect to the agreement to provide facilities for learning motor driving, in connection with their forthcoming contract for work for the General Post Office, to those drivers of horse mail vans who are likely to be without employment during the coming summer in consequence of the change of contract, and whose names have been supplied to him by the London Carmen's Trade Union?

Mr. HERBERT SAMUEL

The mail cart drivers whose names have been furnished by the London Carmen's Trade Union will be seen by a representative of the Thames Ironworks Shipbuilding and Engineering Company; and the tuition in motor driving of such of these men as are suitable will probably be commenced about the 1st June next, that is about one month before the motor mail contract comes into operation.
