§ MR. COURTHOPE (Sussex, Rye)To ask the Postmaster-General whether the staff at Bexhill have been informed by the postmaster of Hastings that they are in Class 5, with a maximum of 40s. 1233 per week; whether he will state the figures of the cost of living and the units of work upon which this classification was based; and whether he will state the reason of the disparity of a maximum salary of 40s. at Bexhill and a maximum of 52s. at Hastings.
(Answered by Mr. Sydney Buxton.) Bexhill-on-Sea has been placed provisionally in Class 5 for the purpose of the scales of pay of the indoor force. Its final position in the new classification is now being considered.
