HC Deb 11 April 1911 vol 24 cc439-40W
Sir JAMES YOXALL

asked the Postmaster-General if he will state the reason why boy messengers' uniform has recently been served out to the postal adult night messengers, some of whom are fifty years old, in place of the postmen's uniform hitherto supplied to these adults; and what is the total number of postal adult night messengers now employed in the United Kingdom?

Mr. HERBERT SAMUEL

As the class is a small one, and moreover as the work is being gradually transferred to the postmen's class, I have decided not to carry out the change of uniform which had been recommended.
