§ MR. J. E. X. O'BRIEN (Mayo, S.)I beg to ask the Postmaster General whether the seven hours rule in the Savings Bank Department in London will apply to women employed in the Clearing House branch, Dublin; and whether, in view of the fact that women employed in the former Department in London receive a minimum salary of £100, whilst those employed in the latter in Dublin receive only£70, any arrangements are in contemplation to bring the rules of payment more nearly to an equality?
§ *MR. RAIKESIn reply to the hon. Member, I have to say that I have not yet come to any decision on the subject alluded to in the question.
