HC Deb 19 March 1912 vol 35 c1853W
Dr. ADDISON

asked the Postmaster-General, whether, in view of the fact that Messrs. Macnamara, mail contractors, of Castle Street, Finsbury, are shortly to institute a motor mail van service to a considerable extent, he will endeavour to secure that the present drivers for this firm are given an opportunity for learning motor driving and a preference in regard to the new employment, as was arranged for in a former instance of a similar character?

Mr. HERBERT SAMUEL

A notice is being exhibited at the contractors' yard inviting the staff to qualify as motor drivers, and offering preference to those with technical knowledge, and tuition to those without it.
