East Central Postmen.

HC Deb 30 April 1909 vol 4 cc706-7W

Mr. WILES

asked the Postmaster-General whether he is aware that owing to the recent official revision of the hours of duty of East Central postmen a large number of claims for payment of excess time have been presented, and that these claims have been refused on the ground that the rules cannot recognise them; and will he state if it is by his authority the recommendation of the Tweedmouth Committee that all excess time over 48 hours in one week should be paid as overtime has been cancelled?

Mr. BUXTON

I am having inquiry made in the matter, and will acquaint the hon. Member with the result.
