HC Deb 14 March 1887 vol 312 cc176-7
Mr. O. V. MORGAN (Battersea)

asked the Postmaster General, Whether he is prepared to re-introduce the system of commission on sale of stamps to rail- way telegraph clerks as allowed until October, 1885; and, whether he is prepared to compensate those clerks who wore in 1885 deprived of this portion of their income?

THE POSTMASTER GENERAL (Mr. RAIKES) (Cambridge University)

In reply to the hon. Member, I have to state that I do not see my way to re-introduce the payment of commission on the sale of stamps; but I am glad to add that the Treasury have authorized certain terms of compensation, and I am in communication with the Railway Companies on the subject.
