§ Mr. WoodhouseAll told, the strike of Post Office workers on Thursday, 16th July, 1964, necessitated the employment of 1,186 police officers on a variety of duties connected with the strike.
No overtime was incurred as a result of these duties and therefore no additional expenditure of public money.
