§ Mr. PICKERSGILLasked the Postmaster-General whether the town sub-office at Bishopsgate Street Without is at the present time being worked by staff under the direct control of his Department; and whether, in view of the importance and volume of the work done at this office, he will consider the question of making it a branch office with an established staff?
§ Mr. HERBERT SAMUELThe town sub-office at Bishopsgate Street Without is at the present time being worked by the assistants previously employed by the town sub-postmaster, who has resigned.
