HC Deb 07 July 1914 vol 64 c904W
Sir THOMAS ESMONDE

asked the Postmaster-General if he will consider the advisability of allowing postmen and postal messengers to wear holland overalls, instead of their heavy uniforms, in this hot weather?

Mr. HOBHOUSE

I do not consider it desirable to make any change in the direction suggested by the hon. Member. The officers in question are supplied with lighter uniform for the summer months and are permitted to wear white straw hats during the hot weather.
