§ MR. BAYLEY () Derbyshire ChesterfieldI beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster-General, will he explain why, in the Parliamentary Return entitled Post Office (Sorters and Telegraphists Pay), no mention is made of the class of operators which exists in the Central Telegraph Office, London, on a salary rising by £8 yearly from £160 to £180; and whether steps will be taken to amend the same?
§ SIR J. GORST (for Mr. HANBURY)There is no such class of operators as that named in the question. The honourable Member perhaps refers to the "Overseers and Senior Telegraphists" on the scale of £160 by £8 to £190. The Parliamentary Return was intended to include only the rank and file, excluding those to whom supervising or superior duties are assigned.
