§ 81. Mr. EVELYN CECILasked the Postmaster-General whether, bearing in mind the increased cost of living and the principle accepted by Parliament in augmenting payments to old age pensioners, he can see his way to sanction a war bonus, at any rate, to the lower-pensioned officers of His Majesty's Post Office service?
§ The POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Mr. Illingworth)As I have previously stated, Post Office pensioners are in the same position as other retired Civil servants, and I am not in a position to take independent action in the matter.
