HC Deb 28 December 1919 vol 123 c1241
36. Mr. WIGNALL

asked the Postmaster-General whether it has been decided that members of his staff who served as warrant telegraphists in the Navy during the War are entitled to the gratuity on discharge although they were in receipt of full civil pay; whether this decision has been communicated to all the men concerned; and whether the gratuity has been paid in all cases?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the ADMIRALTY (Dr. Macnamara)

I have been asked to answer this question. The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative, and as regards the second and third parts, only one officer can be traced, from a list furnished by the Post. Office, as being concerned, and he has been paid the gratuity.
