§ Mr. Russellasked the Postmaster-General the total number of telephone supervisors in the United Kingdom who have been promoted to substantive rank; and how many of these are women.
§ Mr. Ness EdwardsI assume that the hon. Member has in mind promotions made as a result of the recent revision of supervising standards. This revision has so far resulted in the promotion of 690 supervising telephonists, including 180 women.
