HC Deb 09 December 1912 vol 45 c44
84. Mr. JOHN WARD

asked the Postmaster-General whether he proposes to bring before the Select Committee sitting under the chairmanship of the hon. Member for Hexham the pay and conditions of the female and male cleaners in the service of the Post Office; and, if not, will he cause inquiries to be made into the conditions of this class of Post Office workers with a view of bringing their pay up to the level of ordinary labourers employed in the same districts or by local governing bodies?

Mr. HERBERT SAMUEL

It is for the officers in question to make application if they wish to be heard by the Select Committee, and it is within the competence of that Committee to decide what classes of Post Office servants they will hear.
