§ MR. CLNLNGHAME GRAHAM (Lanark, N.W.)I beg to ask the Postmaster General whether auxiliary postmen are employed from 4 to 8.30 a.m. and from 8 to 12.30 p.m. for the sum of Is. 6d. for each period of four and a half hours?
§ MR. RAIKESThere are no auxiliary postmen employed from 4 to 8.30 a.m. and from 8 a.m. to 12.30 p.m. for the payment mentioned by the hon. Member. Auxiliary postmen employed at night or early morning would receive wages of from 11s. to 12s. a week. Besides this, they are provided with uniform clothing and free medical attendance whilst on duty. It is, however, a rule of the Department to employ as auxiliaries such persons only as have some private business or other means of livelihood.
