§ MR. HANDEL COSSHAM (Bristol, E.)asked the Postmaster General, Whether he contemplates making the civilian 1191 telegraphists' hours 48 hours a-week, the same as the female and Royal Engineers' staffs, and to pay for all duty performed on Sundays?
§ THE POST MASTER GENERAL (Mr. RAIKES) (Cambridge University)I do not propose to reduce the ordinary attendance of civilian male telegraphists from 50 to 48 hours a-week, or to pay them extra for work done on Sunday. Their present pay was fixed so as to include remuneration for 50 hours' work a-week—namely, 48 on week-days and two on Sundays.
