§ MR. STEADMAN (Finsbury, Central)To ask the Postmaster-General whether he is aware that, of fourteen men who are employed in D block, General Factory, Mount Pleasant, and are engaged on the ordinary trade wood-working machinery, only two are receiving the proper rate of wages, the remainder being much below the usual rate; and whether he proposes to take any action in the matter.
§ (Answered by Mr. Sidney Buxton.) The factory staff, both skilled and unskilled, 1253 have been heard before the Select Committee on Post Office Servants, and pending the Report of that Committee, I must postpone consideration of the matter.
