HC Deb 23 July 1914 vol 65 cc640-1
79. Mr. ROWNTREE

asked whether the question of the demarcation of the respective duties of sorting clerks and postmen will be brought before the new Post Office Committee for settlement; and whether this Committee is likely to commence its sittings at an early date?

Mr. HOBHOUSE

It will be for the Committee to decide which questions, within the scope of their reference, they will consider. I hope the Committee will commence its sittings at an early date.

Mr. BUTCHER

May we hope that the Committee will sit continuously and conclude their discussions as soon as possible?

Mr. HOBHOUSE

I should think so.
