§ MR. FREEMAN-THOMAS (Hastings)To ask the Postmaster-General if he will state what increase has been or will be made in the maximum salaries of the postmaster, chief clerk, superintendent, and the assistant superintendents of the Hastings Post Office, in consequence of the recent increase in the number of the sorting clerks and telegraphists' staff at that office.
(Answered by Lord Stanley.) The maximum pay of the chief clerk and superintendent at Hastings has recently been increased by £20 a year in each case, and the maximum of the assistant superintendents has been raised by £10 a year. The revision of the postmaster's salary will not be due for some time yet.
