HC Deb 20 February 1905 vol 141 cc601-2
MR. SCHWANN (Manchester, N.)

I beg to ask the Postmaster-General if he purposes placing the postmen employed within the area of the late Withington Urban District Council (now amalgamated with Manchester) on the Manchester scale of pay, seeing that those men now perform their duty within the Manchester city boundary; and, if so, how soon the increased pay will commence. † See page 315.

THE POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Lord STANLEY,) Lancashire, Westhoughton

I will consider the question, which is under consideration, but I cannot promise an immediate decision, as other cases have to be considered at the same time.
