§ 92. Mr. SNOWDENasked what was the staff of the chief superintendent's office at the Leeds General Post Office six months ago and what is the staff to-day and, if an increase has taken place, on what grounds is the increase justified?
Mr. PEASEThe number, excluding the chief superintendent, was nine in September, and there are now twelve, but one of the staff is employed only half his time. The three additional officers employed temporarily are on duties due to the War, and have been withdrawn from other duties and do not represent a net increase of staff.
