HC Deb 30 July 1913 vol 56 cc531-2
59. Mr. CLYNES

asked the Postmaster-General whether he is aware of the increasing discontent amongst sub-postmasters throughout the country due to the arrangement still in force respecting their pay for work in connection with the National Insurance Act; and whether, in view of his promises to sub-postmasters, he can take immediate steps to establish better remuneration and make this retrospective?

Mr. HERBERT SAMUEL

I beg to refer the hon. Member to the reply given to questions on this subject on the 28th instant.

Mr. CLYNES

Can the right hon. Gentleman say whether, in the event of any increase in remuneration being conceded, that increase will be retrospective?

Mr. HERBERT SAMUEL

If the hon. Member would refer to my previous answers he would find that point dealt with.
