HC Deb 04 December 1911 vol 32 c1194W
Mr. COOPER

asked why postmen at the Walsall office are still employed on the duties of sorting clerks and telegraphists, notwithstanding the fact that the pressure which was stated to justify their employment on these duties no longer exists?

Mr. HERBERT SAMUEL

I am informed that the pressure which has occasioned the employment of a postman as acting sorting clerk and telegraphist at Walsall throughout the present year still exists, and perhaps more acutely than ever.
