SLOAN (Belfast, S.)To ask the Postmaster-General whether the new wages scheme which came into force last April applies to adult night messengers employed on full time duty in offices where the minimum of the established postmen has been raised; and, if so, can he say from what date it will take effect.
(Answered by Lord Stanley.) Under the scheme to which the hon. Member refers the pay of unestablished night telegraph messengers employed full time in provincial towns has been raised to the minimum of the established postmen of the town as from April 1st last.
