§ 36. Mr. AMMONasked the Postmaster-General the number of Post Office employés who were liable to be placed on half-pay due to sickness extending over a period of six months, and the percentage of employés actually placed on half-pay or on pension rate pay, during the last six months of 1925?
§ Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSONAll established Post Office employés are liable to be placed on half-pay after a period of six months' continuous sick leave. 1 am unable to state the percentage of employés placed on half-pay or pension rate of pay in consequence of long continued illness during the second half of 1925, and the information could not be obtained without expense which I do not think would be justified.
