HC Deb 29 July 1930 vol 242 c292W
Mr. MORLEY

asked the Postmaster-General if he will take steps to stop the practice of downgrading recently prevalent in the postal service?

Mr. LEES-SMITH

Changes in the allocation of work are frequently made in order to meet changed conditions or to adjust the grade of staff employed more closely to the value of the work to be performed; but these changes are not by any means all in a downward direction and there is no general practice of downgrading.
