§ Mr. BAKERasked the Postmaster-General whether, in connection with the proposed transfer of the telephone exchange at Pickering, there is any suggestion to reduce the number of established staff; whether it is proposed to instal a caretaker-operator; and, if so, what wages will be offered, what charge will be made for accommodation, and what will be the hours of attendance which the caretaker-operator will be called upon to perform?
§ Mr. HARTSHORNI am having inquiry made in the matter, and will communicate further with the hon. Member.
