HC Deb 06 August 1919 vol 119 c400W
Mr. GRIFFITHS

asked the Postmaster-General whether he is aware that a revision is in contemplation at Cardiff which is designed to seriously worsen the working conditions of the staff; whether the proposals arrange for 137 duties on the postal side, of which 100 would be late or all-night duties; whether this would mean that every man would be continuously employed on late or all-night duties; whether the staff have been consulted; whether he has received an urgent petition against the introduction of the proposed scheme; and whether he will postpone any revision or the application of any reconstruction proposals at Cardiff until the Whitley Committee has been set up?

Mr. ILLINGWORTH

I have no know ledge of the revision or of the petition referred to. Inquiry is being made, and I will communicate with the hon. Member.
