HC Deb 05 July 1906 vol 160 c237
MR. JAMES O'CONNOR (Wicklow, W.)

I beg to ask the Postmaster-General what is the cause of the delay in carrying out at Glasgow the revision of allowances to head postmen recommended in the Tweedmouth Report, dated March, 1897; and, seeing that the matter has been the .subject of official investigation for the last five years, whether a decision will be shortly come to.

THE POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Mr. SYDNEY BUXTON,) Tower Hamlets, Poplar

This is not a question of a revision of allowances recommended by the Tweedmouth Report. Applications for increased allowances have been made from time to time, and have been under consideration, and I have made a recommendation to the Treasury which, if approved, will, I hope, settle the matter.
