§ Sir JOHN BETHELLasked the Postmaster-General whether he is aware that losses take place at the counters in the Eastern Central District of London; whether he is aware that these are due to the conditions and under-staffing in that district; whether he will give the number of males and females actually employed at the counter in the Eastern Central District and the amount of money said to have been lost during the year 1913; and whether he is aware that the Postal Telegraph Clerks' Association has repeatedly called attention to the conditions, to which the local officials appear to pay little attention?
§ Captain NORTONI will make inquiry into this matter, and will communicate with my hon. Friend in due course.
