HC Deb 27 January 1891 vol 349 c1148
MR. PICKERSGILL

I beg to ask the Postmaster General whether his Order compelling the clerks employed in the Savings Bank Department to work for two hours beyond the usual time each day, except on Saturdays, applies to the whole of the staff; and whether the payment for this compulsory overtime is in each case at a rate not less than that received for work done during official hours?

MR. RAIKES

The Order referred to in the first part of the hon. Member's question applies to the whole of the male staff, with the exception of such superintending officers as are not required. The payment for extra duty is rateable on the salaries up to a maximum of Is. 6d. an hour.
