HC Deb 12 August 1913 vol 56 c2276W
Mr. WILES

asked the Postmaster-General if his attention has been called to the fact that the provisions of the Shop Hours Act are not being carried out as regards the employés of the refreshment branch at King Edward's Buildings, General Post Office; and whether he will take steps to see that this staff shall not be deprived of the benefits of a weekly half-holiday to which they are entitled under the Act?

Mr. HERBERT SAMUEL

I have been advised that the provisions of the Shops Act do not apply to the refreshment club at King Edward's Building. These persons are, however, the employés of the club and are not engaged on Post Office work, but I will make inquiry whether the club can do anything in the matter.
