HC Deb 05 May 1908 vol 188 c65
MR. COURTHOPE

I beg to ask the Postmaster-General what tables of the cost of living he employed, in conjunction with the units of postal work, in fixing the scale of pay of postal servants; and on what basis such tables were calculated.

MR. SYDNEY BUXTON

The index numbers representing the cost of living are furnished to me by the Board of Trade.
