HC Deb 21 March 1932 vol 263 c693
42. Mr. SIMMONDS

asked the Postmaster-General whether he is aware that serious physical exhaustion was suffered by a number of the temporary staff employed by the Post Office during the last Christmas season due to the discontinuance of the issue of light refreshments; and whether he will revise his instructions for the winter of 1932?

Sir K. WOOD

The practice of supplying light refreshments to the Post Office staff during the period of Christmas pressure was discontinued some 10 years ago. I have received no information to the effect suggested by the hon. Member, but if he will supply me with particulars I will have inquiry made.
