HC Deb 03 June 1909 vol 5 c1547W
Mr. ACLAND ALLEN

asked the Postmaster-General whether any members of the sorters class working in excess of 16 hours in 48 hours have received a weekly half-holiday as compensation for loss of the time allowance which was granted under the Tweedmouth regulations?

Mr. SYDNEY BUXTON

The duties of those sorters who work more than 16 hours in 48 on certain days are in some cases arranged so as to give them a complete day's holiday once a fortnight. In other cases they have short hours of work on other days of the week.
