Mr. TYSON WILSONasked the Postmaster-General whether paragraph 397 of the Select Committee's Report is being carried out in its entirety; whether male assistants over 25 years of age, in Class 2 offices, are being paid less than 7d. per hour; whether assistants are entitled to overtime pay on Sundays; and whether, in a number of offices, they are not receiving it?
§ Mr. BUXTONParagraph 397 of the Select Committee's Report has been carried out. Continuously employed male assistants of or over 25 years of age in Class 2 offices are paid 7d. per hour. All full time assistants are entitled to extra pay at a rate and a half for work performed on Sundays. Perhaps my hon. Friend will let me know of any cases in which the authorised rates are not being paid.
