§ Mr. STEPHEN COLLINSasked the Postmaster-General whether a new branch post office is to be opened to take the place of the Fore Street and Coleman Street town sub-offices, and to be staffed entirely by women; and, if so, whether he will consider the question of transferring the Fleet Street Post Office women staff to the new office and staffing the Fleet Street office by men, with a view to abandoning the present arrangements, under which men have nightly to take over the Fleet Street office from the women staff at 8 p.m.?
§ Mr. HERBERT SAMUELIt is the case that a new branch office will shortly be opened in place of the town sub-offices in Fore Street and Coleman Street, E.C., and that a female staff will be employed there.1872W I will consider the suggestion made by the hon. Member.
