§ MR. SLOAN (Belfast, S.)To ask the Postmaster-General, if he can say 912 why the new scale of wages which were to come into operation on January last has not yet been applied to the male learners at Belfast.
(Answered by Mr. Sydney Buxton.) The delay in applying the new scheme at Belfast has been due to local difficulties. These have now been overcome and the new scheme has been brought into force; the new scale will date back to 1st January.
