§ 7. Mr. Dudley Smithasked the Postmaster-General what system he is adopting for hearing appeals by individual Post Office Savings Bank staff against being moved to Glasgow; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. BevinsI have already said that I intend to set up special machinery to examine any special or personal domestic difficulties which members of the staff may put forward. It would, however, be premature to create a detailed system until I know how many volunteers there will be. When that stage is reached, I hope we shall have the advantage of consultation with the staff associations. As I have assured the House, the Post Office will do all it can to see that no avoidable hardship arises.
