§ MR. J. DALY (Monaghan, S.)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, whether he can state when head postmasters in Ireland will receive the 10 per cent. increase of salary recommended by the Report of Lord Tweedmouth's Commission to postmasters of ten years' experience; and whether head postmasters in England of ten years' service have already received the benefit of the 10 per cent. increase of their salaries recommended by the Commission?
§ THE FINANCIAL SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Mr. R. W. HANBURY,) PrestonA considerable number of head postmasters in Ireland have already received the increases of salaries accruing under the recommendations of Lord Tweedmouth's Committee, and other revisions will be carried out as they fall due. The same remarks apply to head postmasters in England.
§ MR. DALYIs the right hon. Gentleman aware there are many postmasters 1645 in Ireland with over ten years' service who have not yet got the increase in their salaries?
§ MR. HANBURYIt is quite possible, because the increase is to be given after a certain time.
