DR. RUTHERFORD (Middlesex, Brentford)To ask the Postmaster-General whether he is now in a position to say what is the cost of living in the postal area of Twickenham.
(Answered by Mr. Sydney Buxton.) It is estimated by analogy from neighbouring towns where investigation has been made by the Board of Trade that the cost of living at Twickenham is considerably above the normal. Under this analogy the scales of pay of the indoor and outdoor force at Twickenham have been raised.
