HC Deb 18 May 1914 vol 62 cc1587-8
88. Mr. HARRY LAWSON

asked how many Departmental Committees are at present sitting at the Post Office; and into what subjects are they inquiring?

Captain NORTON

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply to his question on the 11th instant. There are at present over a dozen important Departmental Committees sitting and their inquiries cover a wide range, including such matters as the claims of the classes not represented before the Holt Committee—boy labour, telephone rates, high-speed telegraphy, units of work.

Mr. HARRY LAWSON

Is there any Committee of Inquiry sitting on the general organisation of the Post Office, or on questions of the general administration?

Captain NORTON

I am not aware of any Committee inquiring into the whole subject.
