HC Deb 16 July 1903 vol 125 c867
MR. NANNETTI (Dublin, College Green)

I beg to ask the Postmaster-General if evidence regarding trippage allowances on travelling post offices would be accepted at the proposed Committee of Inquiry into the wages of postal employees.

THE POSTMASTER GENERAL (Mr. AUTSEN CHAMBERLAIN,) Worcestershire, E.

No, Sir. The inquiry proposed is into the normal rates of wages of the classes concerned. When these are fixed it will be for the Postmaster-General to settle, with the concurrence of the Treasury, what special allowances are required to cover exceptional duties.
