POST OFFICE (WAGE RATES)

HC Deb 10 April 1951 vol 486 c72W

Mr. Mulley

asked the Postmaster-General if he will give details of the 180 per cent. increase in Post Office wage charges, as compared with pre-war.

Mr. Ness Edwards

I am glad of the opportunity to clarify this matter. The present average wage rates of Post Office staff are 180 per cent. of the pre-war average; the increase is 80 per cent.
