§ MR. BURDETT-COUTTS (Westminster)I beg to ask the Postmaster-General, if he is aware that adult messengers employed at the Western District Office on duty after their usual time, during the week ending 19th January, have not yet received payment for the same; and when they will receive payment.
§ MR. SYDNEY BUXTONThe claim for the overtime to which the hon. Member refers was one of the many which arose out of the General Election. The large 1313 number of claims has caused some unavoidable delay in settlement, but all amounts still due will be paid very shortly.
