HC Deb 04 August 1913 vol 56 cc1030-1
17. Sir WILLIAM BYLES

asked the Postmaster-General whether he has in any degree allayed the dissatisfaction of the sub-postmasters and postmistresses expressed through their federation at the remuneration granted to them for the extra labour and responsibilities imposed upon them in the sale of insurance and unemployment stamps; whether it is still intended to increase the payment for these extra services; and, if so, how soon?

Mr. HERBERT SAMUEL

I would refer the hon. Member to my answer to previous questions on this subject, a copy of which I am sending him.

Sir W. BYLES

Can the right hon. Gentleman say whether the dissatisfaction has been allayed?

Mr. HERBERT SAMUEL

I am afraid, in the absence of any reply, that the dissatisfaction has not been allayed.
