§ 47. Mr. GILLETTasked the Postmaster-General whether, in view of the fact that, with the exception of the auxiliary or part-time sorting force employed within his Department, all other grades and ranks of postal servants receive a night allowance of eight and a-half minutes between the hours of 8 p.m. and 6 a.m., he will now consider the advisability of granting the same privileges to those at present exempted?
§ The ASSISTANT POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Viscount Wolmer)The matter referred to is one of several on which representations have been made by a deputation from the Auxiliary Sorters' Association. The association have been informed that their claims will be reconsidered in the light of whatever award is made on the claims on behalf of the larger Post Office classes which are being referred to the Industrial Court.
§ Mr. GILLETTCan the Noble Lord say when a definite answer is likely to be received by these people?
§ Viscount WOLMERIt depends upon the date of the award.
