HC Deb 10 April 1913 vol 51 cc1356-7
75. Mr. GINNELL

asked the Postmaster-General what scale postmasters and sub-postmasters in England and in Ireland, respectively, are paid for the extra work imposed upon them under the National Insurance Act; and, seeing that the work of explaining the Act and bringing it into operation in rural districts in Ireland was difficult, what special payment has been made for that essential preliminary work?

The POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Mr. Herbert Samuel)

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given yesterday to a question on the same subject. No distinction is made between England and Ireland in this connection.
