§ Mr. JOYNSON-HICKSasked the Postmaster-General the aggregate number of hours overtime worked by London sorters from 4th August to 31st December, 1914, exclusive of the Christmas pressure, and from 1st January, 1915, to the present date, exclusive of the new year pressure, and for the corresponding periods of 1913 and 1914, exclusive of the Christmas and New Year periods?
§ Mr. HOBHOUSEThe collection of the information asked for would involve much labour and research, and could not be undertaken without imposing additional work on a staff which is already heavily burdened. Doubtless in the circumstances the hon. Member will not wish to press the question.
