HC Deb 13 June 1912 vol 39 cc1058-9
85. Mr. JOHN WARD

asked the Postmaster-General whether the letters for the villagers of Alwyn Valley Waterworks are taken into the contractor's office and sorted by an official of the contractor and then delivered by a man in postman's uniform who is also an official of the contractor; that, as a result, the contractor's officials are made acquainted with the nature of their workmen's correspondence; whether his Department will make some arrangements by which the work- men on public works of this character may-carry on their correspondence without the knowledge of their employer?

The ASSISTANT POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Captain Norton)

I am having inquiry made in the matter, and will communicate the result to the hon. Member.
