HC Deb 15 March 1911 vol 22 c2418W
Mr. TYSON WILSON

asked the Postmaster-General whether he will give particulars of devolution on to superior duties performed by male telegraphists and sorting clerks and telegraphists in provincial offices during the year 1910, including the number of officers concerned, the number of days devolution duty performed, and the total payment made for the year?

Mr. HERBERT SAMUEL

The preparation of such a return would involve much clerical work; and the value of the return would not justify the labour and expense involved.
