§ 15. Sir B. Neven-Spenceasked the Assistant Postmaster-General if he will consider altering the regulations governing the issue of uniforms to rural postmen so that men who do less than 12 hours duty a week may in future be provided with uniforms without having to surrender 26 coupons.
§ Mr. BurkeUniforms are not issued to postmen employed for less than 12 hours per week and the question of surrendering 26 coupons does not therefore arise. Such officers are supplied with armlets only, and the issue of uniform is not considered to be necessary. An issue of a waterproof cape and leggings is also made on request on surrender of the appropriate coupons.
