HC Deb 28 August 1914 vol 66 c287W
Mr. CARR-GOMM

asked the Postmaster-General whether extra men have been given work by his Department in consequence of Post Office employés being called up for military service; and whether he intends to take on any more extra men?

Mr. HOBHOUSE

A large number of temporary substitutes for men called up for military service have already been taken on, and others will be engaged, if necessary, as occasion requires. This matter is having my constant attention, but I cannot tell yet what steps may be required.
