HC Deb 18 June 1883 vol 280 cc786-7
MR. BIGGAR

asked the Postmaster General, Whether or not the Parcels Post will increase the labour and emoluments of the Irish rural letter carriers?

MR. FAWCETT

Sir, the labour of the Irish rural letter carriers will, equally with that of most rural letter carriers in the rest of the United Kingdom, be no doubt increased by the Parcels Post. The cases of the rural letter carriers are now under consideration; and, in reply to the hon. Member, I may say that increased remuneration will be given in those cases where it is thought to be required.
