HC Deb 11 March 1908 vol 185 cc1523-4
MR. SLOAN (Belfast, S.)

I beg to ask the Postmaster-General whether, in view of the fact that the adult night messengers are not affected by the classification or any other scheme, he will say what is the cause for delay in putting in force the recommendations of the Hobhouse Committee; and will they be put into operation forthwith.

MR. SYDNEY BUXTON

All questions relating to the pay of adult night messengers have now been settled, and the revision is being carried out. No officer will suffer from the delay?

MR. SLOAN

But what has been the cause of the delay?

MR. SYDNEY BUXTON

The enormous pressure in carrying. out the multifarious classification.

MR. SLOAN

Is it now settled?

MR. SYDNEY BUXTON

I have said so.
