HC Deb 31 July 1891 vol 356 cc933-4
DR. TANNER

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury whether the Civil Service messengers and porters are now allowed extra pay for overtime work; and whether, in the case of the Irish messengers and porters, they will be allowed the maximum rate of pay per day from the date the seven hours' system came into force?

MR. JACKSON

It is difficult to give an answer to such a general question. I should say that, as a rule, they are not paid for overtime.
