§ MR. JOYCE (Limerick)I beg to ask the Postmaster-General whether he will explain why the maximum salary at the Limerick Post Office was reduced from 50s. per week to 48s., seeing that the Bradford Report recommends that the salary at this office be increased; and will he say if he has received a petition from the local staff.
LORD STANLEYThe scale rising to 50s. a week is now obsolete, but officers at Limerick appointed before April 1st will retain that maximum. I have received a memorial from the staff, and I am having inquiry made as to whether the next higher scale rising to 52s. a week is warranted.
