asked the Postmaster-General whether, as the Report of the Norton Committee is referred to in paragraph 268 of the Holt Report, the whole of which is to be considered by the Special Committee appointed for that purpose, he will suspend further transfers of work from sorting clerks to postmen until the issue of the Report of that Committee?

My right hon. Friend had already decided that while maintaining the small number of transfers which had been made no new cases should be authorised.
