§ Sir E. HUME-WILLIAMSasked the Postmaster-General whether, seeing that during the recent elections postmen were called upon to do a great deal of extra work and to walk or cycle many additional miles, particularly in country districts, he can state what additional pay they have received for such extra work and at what rate it has been paid?
§ Mr. HARTSHORNThe total payments to postmen for overtime in connection with the recent elections amounted to approximately £20,000. Payment was generally at rate and a quarter.
