HC Deb 05 July 1910 vol 18 cc1609-10W
Mr. TYSON WILSON

asked the Postmaster-General what is the number of boys employed to deliver telegraph messages or to do postal work under allowances to postmasters; and what steps, if any, are taken by the Post Office to provide for the future of these boys after they get too old to be employed on boys' wages?

Mr. HERBERT SAMUEL

There is no record of the number of boys employed to deliver telegrams, or to do postal work, under allowances. They are not in the Post Office service, and usually follow some other occupation, their Post Office work being either part-time or of a casual or intermittent nature.
