HC Deb 16 June 1931 vol 253 c1611
27. Mr. ALPASS

asked the Postmaster-General if he is aware that extra men have recently been engaged by his Department for work at Blackberry Hill, Bristol; that these men were not engaged through the medium of the local Employment Exchange; and whether he will take such steps as will ensure future engagements being effected by the agency of the Employment Exchange?

Mr. VIANT

The work in question was carried out under contract, and the men employed were engaged by the contractor and not by the Post Office.
