§ 70. Captain Pluggeasked the Postmaster-General whether he has any figures showing how the volume of correspondence passing through the House of Commons post office has changed during the past 20 years; whether it has been necessary to increase the staff during this period; and, if so, to what extent?
§ Sir W. WomersleyI am sorry that the statistics asked for by my hon. Friend are not available. The number of staff has shown little change in recent years as temporary assistance is readily obtainable from the South Western District Post Office when necessary.
