HC Deb 26 February 1917 vol 90 cc1677-8
29. Mr. FELL

asked the Assistant Post-master-General what recompense is to be made to the postmasters and employés in the various post offices for the work thrown upon them by the issue of the War Loan?

The ASSISTANT POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Mr. Pike Pease)

The question of remuneration for this work, so far as it is done by scale payment sub-postmasters is at present under consideration. In the case of directly employed Post Office servants extra attendance, whether for War Loan or for other work, is remunerated under the ordinary rules governing overtime payment.

Mr. FELL

Do I understand that something will be done for those postmistresses and postmasters who have been really doing banking work for the last two or three weeks and handling very large sums of money?

Mr. PEASE

The question is now under consideration, and we hope for a reply very shortly.
