HC Deb 10 August 1888 vol 330 cc325-6
MR. CLANCY (Dublin Co., N.)

asked the Postmaster General, Whether it is a fact that though the men employed in the different grades in the Dublin Post Office are supposed to be on the same footing in the Service as men in corresponding grades in London depôts, yet the London officials when employed on Sundays in the Parcel Post delivery receive double the rate at which the Dublin officials are paid; and, if so, what is the reason of the distinction made between the two classes of officials, and whether it will be abolished?

THE POSTMASTER GENERAL (Mr. RAIKES) (Cambridge University)

No, Sir; it is not a fact.

MR. CLANCY

Is it not a fact that the London men receive 1s. 6d. per hour, and the Dublin men only 9d.?

MR. RAIKES

If the hon. Gentleman will put his Question in writing, I will make further inquiry.
