§ MR. SCHWANNI beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury whether he has come to any decision with respect to the application by the Post Office authorities to the Treasury referring to the claims for additional pay, &c., by the provincial postmen, seeing that their claims are now of long date, and that other branches of the Postal Service have had their scale of pay already revised?
§ MR. JACKSONThe proposals referred to by the hon. Member are extremely important, and have been carefully considered by the Treasury, whose decision will, I hope, be communicated to the Postmaster General in a few days.
