HC Deb 12 August 1913 vol 56 c2250
53. Mr. HOARE

asked the Secretary to the Treasury how many messengers under fifteen years of age are at present employed in the various Government Departments?

The FINANCIAL SECRETARY to the TREASURY (Mr. Masterman)

Boy messengers are recruited when required by the various Departments concerned, and I fear I have no information as to the number under fifteen years of age now employed. The hon. Member will find sonic information on the subject in the Report on Boy Labour in the Post Office recently presented (Cd. 6959).
