HC Deb 07 March 1905 vol 142 cc591-2
MR. NANNETTI (Dublin, College Green)

I beg to ask the Postmaster-General if he is aware that the overtime earned by several postmen in the Dublin district on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve is not yet paid; what is the reason for the delay; and whether he will give instructions for its payment forthwith.

LORD STANLEY

The overtime claimed by some of the Dublin postmen for the Christmas and New Year season was so large as to necessitate special inquiry being made before the claims could be sanctioned. Payment was made on the 3rd instant, with the current week's wages, in accordance with instructions which were given on the 28th ultimo.

MR. NANNETTI

Has not the money been paid since the Question was put down?

LORD STANLEY

I do not know. Instructions were given for it to be paid on the 28th ultimo, after proper inquiries had been made.
