HC Deb 23 August 1887 vol 319 c1529
SIR ROBERT FOWLER (London)

asked the Secretary to the Treasury, Whether, considering that the Post Office, as stated by Mr. Fawcett, recognizes Christmas gratuities as part of postmen's wages, he will insert a clause in the Superannuation Act giving power to the Treasury to grant an additional allowance on this account?

THE SECRETARY (Mr. JACKSON) (Leeds, N.)

There is no intention to extend the definition given in the Superannuation Act, 1859, of the emoluments which may be reckoned for pension.
