HC Deb 15 August 1881 vol 264 c1910
MR. DAWSON

asked the Postmaster General, Whether he will raise the wages of the letter-carriers in Ireland to the same standard as that which exists in England for corresponding duties?

MR. FAWCETT

, in reply, said, that in consequence of memorials he had received not only from Ireland, but from all parts of the country, the whole question of the remuneration of letter-carriers was under careful consideration, and that until a general decision had been arrived at he was not prepared to give any promise on the subject.
