HC Deb 18 July 1922 vol 156 cc1892-3
33. Mr. AMMON

asked the Postmaster-General whether the Treasury sanction was given on the l5th September, 1921, for the revised rates of pay for salaried sub-postmasters; if so, in how many instances has this recommendation been carried out; and when it is proposed to apply the new scale to all officers concerned?

Mr. KELLAWAY

Treasury authority for a revision of the pay of salaried sub-postmasters was received in September, 1921; but the revision could not be carried out independently of the revision of the pay of head postmasters, which was closely associated with it. The revised basis of pay for these grades was promulgated at the end of January last. About half the offices have been dealt with, and the remaining revisions are being carried out as quickly as possible.
