HC Deb 11 December 1928 vol 223 c1911
73. Mr. R. MORRISON

asked the Postmaster-General how many men have been discharged from the Post Office as a result of the discontinuance of newspaper football competitions?

Viscount WOLMER

A few temporary officers have been discharged, but it is unlikely that the cessation of this work will have any effect upon the numbers of permanent staff. The work was intermittent in character, and has been covered almost entirely by overtime and temporary force.

Mr. MORRISON

Cannot the Noble Lord give the exact figures?
