HC Deb 04 April 1927 vol 204 c1663
14. Mr. AMMON

asked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether he has received a resolution from the postal union of Madras protesting against the fact that the minimum rate of pay fixed by the postal inquiry committee in 1921 has been reduced by five rupees per month; and whether, seeing that in view of the present cost of living in Madras the pay of these Government servants is now below the poverty line, he will inquire into the matter?

Earl WINTERTON

No, Sir. The question is entirely one for the Government of India with whose discretion in this matter my Noble Friend is not prepared to interfere.
