HC Deb 19 July 1909 vol 8 cc238-9W
Mr. TYSON WILSON

asked the Postmaster-General if he can state the number of established officers, below the rank of supervising officer, there are in the Engineer-in-Chief's, the Controller of Factories, and the Controller of Stores' Departments?

Mr. BUXTON

The number of established officers in the Engineering Department below the rank of inspector, second class, is 1,034
The number in the factories below the rank of foreman 56
The number in the Stores Department below the rank of storekeeper 266
Total 1,356

Some of these officers perform minor supervising duties, which are, in fact, so far intermingled with ordinary duties that precise distinction is difficult.
