I beg to ask the Postmaster-General whether his attention has been drawn to the petitions from the staff of the Hampstead Sorting Office asking for a revision of the duties at that office; and, if not, will he make inquiries, with a view to such action being taken as will allay the present grievance of the men concerned.

I have not received any representation from the staff of the Hampstead Sorting Office respecting their duties, but the matter was discussed between them and their Postmaster. A revision of force is now under consideration, and the hon. Member may rest assured that in reviewing the arrangement of the duties the representations made by the staff will be given due weight.
